League Play-Off

Vreoci Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ljubinko Terzić took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Ljubinko Terzić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Milutin Dimitrijević's late challenge caught a Leskovac's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Milutin Dimitrijević helped the player get up and apologised. Gruja Gavalovski's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 9thth minute, Goran Križmanić skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Isak Blaževski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Vreoci FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Isak Blaževski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Goran Križmanić breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 17 minutes into the match, Leskovac's goal looked a bit too open when Isak Blaževski came free, but Goran Križmanić reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Gruja Gavalovski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 29th minute Isak Blaževski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Goran Križmanić saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the Vreoci FK defense, Isak Grnčarski kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Nebojša Jaćimović. The Vreoci FK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Nebojša Jaćimović should have stopped the shot. 35 minutes into the match, Leskovac's Isak Grnčarski sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Nebojša Jaćimović narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Isak Blaževski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Goran Križmanić having to interfere. A collision led to Vreoci FK getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Vekoslav Petaković hit a great ball. If Ljubinko Terzić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nebojša Jaćimović made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Isak Grnčarski in the 45th minute of play. 45 minutes into the game, Miladin Čerović was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Vreoci FK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Leskovac the free kick. In the 46th minute, Miladin Čerović hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nebojša Jaćimović came out of the goal in the 49th minute to try and stop a shot by Leskovac's Stevan Nikolić. But to his dismay, Stevan Nikolić quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. The Vreoci FK players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Leskovac were winning 0-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Isak Blaževski to make the kick off. Miladin Čerović was shown his second yellow card after 54 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. The supporters of Leskovac booed when Vreoci FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Miladin Čerović didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 74 minutes, Radoslav Krstanović mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Leskovac and the Vreoci FK players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 74th match minute, Leskovac was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Radoslav Krstanović to maneuver through the defense. After 76 played minutes, Vreoci FK's Voja Vlašić shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Goran Križmanić came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Vreoci FK reached it. Đorđe Baša's late challenge caught a Vreoci FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Đorđe Baša helped the player get up and apologised. In the 78th minute, Đorđe Baša hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nebojša Jaćimović showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ljubinko Terzić in the 81st minute of the match. In the 83rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Vreoci FK's goalkeeper Nebojša Jaćimović, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Leskovac's Goran Križmanić played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gruja Gavalovski in the 86th minute of play. Isak Grnčarski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ljubinko Terzić blasted a shot towards the goal in the 100th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Nebojša Jaćimović having to make a save. The Vreoci FK manager could be seen shouting at his players as they walked down the tunnel after the match. He was clearly angry that they had squandered their superior possession, allowing Leskovac to win.
