Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Relja Bilbija made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute, Milenko Grabić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 7th minute, Feđa Gunj managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bela Palanka FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Feđa Gunj was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bratoljub Ćesarević breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Feđa Gunj came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Bela Palanka FK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Feđa Gunj couldn't finish the play. Leo Vidović made an important save on a dangerous shot by Draža Krneta in the 12th minute. Bela Palanka FK's Leo Vidović played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Relja Bilbija in the 16th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Bela Palanka FK's zone, Relja Bilbija stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leo Vidović came out of the goal and Relja Bilbija tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 28th minute of the match Gojko Kecman sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Bratoljub Ćesarević skillfully saved the ball. 29 minutes into the game, Božo Skorupan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Crvenka OFK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bela Palanka FK the free kick. 31 minutes into the match, Crvenka OFK's goal looked a bit too open when Feđa Gunj came free, but Bratoljub Ćesarević reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Draža Krneta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Relja Bilbija might have been able to make a better finish in the 38th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Leo Vidović. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Relja Bilbija ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience was convinced that Relja Bilbija's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Leo Vidović was relentless in the 41st minute of the game. In the 43rd minute, Relja Bilbija fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. 44 minutes into the match, Crvenka OFK's Božo Skorupan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Leo Vidović narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
