The new season started with an opening kick from the center of the field by Dušan Dulet Savić, a native of Ubljana and a legend of Crvena zvezda. In the new jerseys, with the captain's armband around Katai's arm, the game could begin. From the start of the match, there were several debutants in official matches, so goalkeeper Ilić, Stojić, Dalsio and Puma could get to know Maracana as Zvezda players. After 180 seconds, Zvezda could score the first goal in the new competition year, but Ilić and Endiaje did not find the way to Jovanović's net, although Zvezda's child did well on the left flank. Ilić threatened again on the left side after a good penetration when he shot just past the post in the ninth minute.

Zvezda took the lead in the 18th minute when Mimović, after the complete initiative of our team, passed on the right flank and sent a sharp cross into the box where Sheriff Endiaje with the stopper "on his back", caught the ball from the first and hit the near corner, more precisely just a fork. He took the ball from Endiaye in the danger zone and played through Katai, who reciprocated his unselfishness, but the Senegalese forward shot from a turn past the post. However, Zvezda didn't have to wait for a new goal, when the whirlwind Ilić once again passed on the left side and sent a sharp ball into the box, where he was waiting for Endiaje and sent the ball into the net with a sliding start, in the 23rd minute. The zicers lined up in front of the visitors' goal, who seemed to be executed in the last line, so Šerif gave the ball to Radivojević after an uncertain intervention by Jovanović, and Katai shot just past the goal post from an apparent opportunity.

The young Mimović was excellent as well, and in the 40th minute he thundered down the right flank and left the defender of Jedinstva behind him, and sent a sharp pass to Ilic, who ran over the goal from 10 meters. Hwang also shot excellently from a free kick in the 43rd minute, and the "frog" almost tricked goalkeeper Jovanović, but the ball went wide of the post. The guests hardly threatened the goalkeeper Ilić.

The same manner continued in the second half, and in the 54th minute, Hwang did a great job with Aleksandar Katai, who dribbled away from Radivojević, and then hit the corner of Jovanović's goal. The visitors threatened for the first time in the 60th minute when Ferreira shot from 20 meters, very sharp, but over Ilic's goal. Already in the next minute, Zvezda had a chance when Endiaje dribbled ahead of Jovanovic, but went too sideways and failed to hit the net. Puma also shot solidly in the 67th minute from the edge of the penalty area when the ball bounced off his leg, but Jovanović was up to the task.

Bruno Duarte entered the history of Red Star as the fastest debutant scorer, considering that he needed only 52 seconds to score. Hwang shot in the 69th minute, and Jovanovic deflected the ball straight to the foot of the Brazilian forward, who introduced himself to Zvezda's crowd in a great way. It was calm until the end, but everyone was under the impression of the broken record by the great Brazilian.
