Badnjevac Stadion
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Đorđe Đurović kicked off to start the match. Budisav Borovčanin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Đorđe Đurović in the 8th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Opovo's Milan Obrić got a free kick in the 10th minute. In the 10th minute of the match Dušan Bursać shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Timotije Pupovac showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Đorđe Đurović in the 14th minute of play forced Badnjevac OFK's goalkeeper Budisav Borovčanin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 17 played minutes Badnjevac OFK got a freekick which was hit by Ilija Janjić. After a defensive mix-up in Badnjevac OFK's zone, Mile Andonovski stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Budisav Borovčanin came out of the goal and Mile Andonovski tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Đorđe Đurović had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Ilija Janjić fell near the penalty area in the 31st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Badnjevac OFK's protests and gave Ilija Janjić a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Opovo booed when Badnjevac OFK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ilija Janjić didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 33rd match minute, Badnjevac OFK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Atanasije Milojević to maneuver through the defense. Jugomir Sovrlić could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 38th minute of the match, but Timotije Pupovac made a huge save. If Mile Andonovski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half the score was level. 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. Mihajlo Pečenić was the one to do the kick off. Timotije Pupovac had in the 63rdth minute some difficulties stopping Dušan Bursać's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. Đorđe Đurović fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Budisav Borovčanin having to interfere. 72 minutes into the match, Badnjevac OFK's Mihajlo Pečenić sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Timotije Pupovac narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Jugomir Sovrlić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mile Andonovski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Budisav Borovčanin having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Opovo's zone, Mihajlo Pečenić stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Timotije Pupovac came out of the goal and Mihajlo Pečenić tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 85 minutes into the match, Opovo's goal looked a bit too open when Mihajlo Pečenić came free, but Timotije Pupovac reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jugomir Sovrlić fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Timotije Pupovac having to interfere. Mihajlo Pečenić 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. Jugomir Sovrlić recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 98th minute, Dušan Bursać hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
