The match started with the goalkeepers in a somewhat uncharacteristic role, so Borjan dribbled Rikard out, and Stevanović tried something similar, albeit unsuccessfully, and Ivanić blocked it, but the home team was lucky and the ball returned to the arms of the black and white goalkeeper. We had our first attempt already in the sixth minute when Rodić tried to outwit Stevanović diagonally from the left side, but he shot with his "weaker" right foot, and the ball had an interesting trajectory and ended up right next to the post.

Pešić had a good chance in the 15th minute when Vigo crossed for him, he ran in, but the ball bounced just before he was supposed to catch it and send it into the net. Zvezda dominated through possession, while the home team mostly limited themselves to counterattacks, and from such a situation they came to a possible opportunity, but Diabate shot over the goal in the 26th minute. Katai dribbled in his own manner in the 42nd minute, practically outsmarting all Partizan defenders, but when he found himself in front of Stevanović, he shot wide.

The continuation of the match started much more calmly, the pace of the game dropped, and the game began to be played much more in the middle of the field. Milojević wanted Zvezda to be more offensive, so he exchanged Kangwa for Mijailović. However, the home team threatened in the 60th minute when Natho shot from ten meters, but Borjan was well placed and managed to tame the ball. Zvezda retaliated through Rodić, who crossed two minutes later and found Ivanić, but today, the highly noted midfielder, the ball escaped, even though it would have been a very likely opportunity.

Milojević continued to make changes, so Azarov and Mitrović came in and occupied the entire left side, while Rodić and Ivanić left the game. It was Azarov in the 77th minute who crossed well, and Dragović accepted the ball in the box, however, Marković managed to shoot it and remove the danger. Jović had an opportunity for the home team in the 82nd minute, but today Borjan was invincible. In the finish, Srnić and Rakonjac played instead of Kanga and Pešić, and Zvezda had the best chance of the match in the 86th minute. Mitrović rumbled on the left flank and sent a fantastic cross for Bukari, who "bowed down" and hit the post with his head. Zvezda was not lucky in the finish, and the eternal rivals shared the points.
