Spectators: 6795 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1795, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Puriša Crnčević started the match with the kick off. Cvetin Vučić made an important save on a dangerous shot by Božo Mihajlović in the 3rd minute. 10 minutes into the game, Lajkovac's Toma Stanišić nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ognjen Janković made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. When the match had gone on for 20 minutes, Puriša Crnčević put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Ognjen Janković. Žarkovo's Ognjen Janković played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Živko Gojak in the 26th minute of play. In the 30th minute, Savo Dačić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Toma Stanišić during the 31st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Lajkovac's Toma Stanišić got a free kick in the 31st minute. A hard shot by Filiman Đorđević from long distance, 32 minutes into the match, got Cvetin Vučić's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. The supporters of Žarkovo booed when Lajkovac was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Staniša Ljumović didn't get a good kick on the ball. Božo Mihajlović fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cvetin Vučić having to interfere. Milivoje Košutić received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Cvetin Vučić tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Milivoje Košutić had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Milivoje Košutić to make the kick off. The audience was convinced that Milivoje Košutić's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cvetin Vučić was relentless in the 56th minute of the game. Božo Mihajlović took the ball and in the 63 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cvetin Vučić. Cvetin Vučić dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Cvetin Vučić showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Milivoje Košutić in the 66th minute of the match. Puriša Crnčević fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ognjen Janković having to interfere. Žarkovo's Vučko Ašković suffered a fractured collar bone after 71 minutes and couldn't finish the game. During the 71st minute of the match Toma Stanišić completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Toma Stanišić a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. When Milivoje Košutić was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 76 minutes had been played. The supporters of Lajkovac booed when Žarkovo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Milivoje Košutić didn't get a good kick on the ball. Lajkovac's Milan Marković shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 78th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Ognjen Janković but with some difficulty. Živko Gojak received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Ognjen Janković tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 83rd minute, Saša Ristić got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. With a little luck, Žarkovo's Ognjen Janković got control of the ball when Živko Gojak tried to sneak it across the goal line. The Lajkovac players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
