League Play-Off

Toplica Stadion
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Vasilije Krkanović started the match with the kick off. In the 7th minute of the match Ćiro Radenović sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Dimitrije Virijević skillfully saved the ball. After 7 minutes, Bogosav Stavrić mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Toplica and the Velike Livade FK players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 8th minute, Bogosav Stavrić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 13 minutes into the match, Toplica's goal looked a bit too open when Željko Denčić came free, but Dimitrije Virijević reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Željko Denčić in the 15th minute of play forced Toplica's goalkeeper Dimitrije Virijević to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Aranđel Jovičin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Dimitrije Virijević tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dimitrije Virijević showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Željko Denčić, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. When Željko Denčić came up free with the goalie in the 21st minute, the Velike Livade 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 Željko Denčić couldn't finish the play.

Željko Denčić received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Dimitrije Virijević tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Aranđel Jovičin was the one to do the kick off. Velike Livade FK's Trifun Bajić played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dragoljub Gavrić in the 56th minute of play. In the 57th minute, Dragoljub Gavrić ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Trifun Bajić was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0.

In the 63rd minute, Tadija Jovanović hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Dragoljub Gavrić came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Toplica fans jumped to their feet.
