Spectators: 7701 (Terracing: 5777, Seating: 1771, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hüsmen Yiğithan kicked off to start the match. In the 3rd minute, Suavi Mazhar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Warriors of Gora™'s Njegovan Baletić played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Namık Atik in the 5th minute of play. In the 7th minute Momčilo Zafirović shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Süleyman Sebukalp saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Süleyman Sebukalp didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Vićentije Čović went, in the 9th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. If Momčilo Zafirović had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Süleyman Sebukalp showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Radisav Rajković, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. After a rather tough play, Carno FK's Alişan Suer got a free kick in the 15th minute. 18 minutes into the game, Radoslav Miličić was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Warriors of Gora™'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Carno FK the free kick. In the 18th minute, Radoslav Miličić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The crowd rose to their feet as Hüsmen Yiğithan kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Njegovan Baletić. That made the score 1-1 in the 27 minute of play. 30 minutes into the match, Namık Atik dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Njegovan Baletić, 2-1. In the 44th minute Alişan Suer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Njegovan Baletić saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Zlatosav Koljenović during the 45th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Momčilo Zafirović to make the kick off. Alişan Suer scored 3-2 in the 55th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Njegovan Baletić, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Süleyman Sebukalp took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vićentije Čović, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 63rd minute, Mirčeta Ostojić hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 72 minutes into the match, Vićentije Čović notched a goal, 3-3, to the right of Carno FK's Süleyman Sebukalp. Süleyman Sebukalp was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 77 minutes into the match, Warriors of Gora™'s goal looked a bit too open when Namık Atik came free, but Njegovan Baletić reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Süleyman Sebukalp made an important save on a dangerous shot by Momčilo Zafirović in the 78th minute. Momčilo Zafirović's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Süleyman Sebukalp firmly grabbed it by the left post. 84 minutes into the match, Warriors of Gora™'s goal looked a bit too open when Namık Atik came free, but Njegovan Baletić reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Njegovan Baletić made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hüsmen Yiğithan in the 86th minute of play. 89 minutes into the game, Hüsmen Yiğithan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 5-3. Njegovan Baletić was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hüsmen Yiğithan in the 93rd minute of play forced Warriors of Gora™'s goalkeeper Njegovan Baletić to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Vićentije Čović managed to get in a good position for a shot. Warriors of Gora™'s supporters rose to their feet, but Vićentije Čović was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Süleyman Sebukalp breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. For all the effort they put into the match, the Warriors of Gora™ players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Carno FK.
