The Vršac fans' excitement grew in the 8th match minute when Vršac's Jevta Žeravica looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal.

In the 34th minute Jevta Žeravica shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tadija Kaplanović saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nikola Arsić in the 40th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Milivoje Nosović saved Vršac from getting behind.
