Crni Tigrovi's Vladan Nikolić got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Jadran Lipovšćak struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Agustin Cordarin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Crni Tigrovi. 9 minutes into the match, Pincha FC's goal looked a bit too open when Luka Grgurović came free, but Agustin Cordarin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
