They led the new head of the coaching staff - Aleksandar Linta, already after the first created opportunity in the fourth minute of the game. Papović made a nice pass on the right flank, who then crossed into the box, and his assist was crowned by a goal from Aleksa Petrović, who continues with great games since the beginning of the season. The "stock" of results acquired early on allowed our cadets to continue this game a bit more calmly.

Damjanović could have increased the advantage of the red and whites just four minutes later, but his clever attempt managed to be defended by Đakovac. Zvezda looked great at the beginning of the game, and the new coach of our team could hardly have imagined a better start. The left back of our cadet selection - Matej Strika, caused big problems for his guards in the first part of the game, and he managed to escape from them several times, and then sent very high-quality center shots. In the 23rd minute of the game, Subotić tried a shot, which after a precise pass from Petrović went 20 meters away, but the visitors' goalkeeper managed to save it. Aleksa Petrović continued to threaten Mačva's goal, and he shot an excellent free kick in the 32nd minute, and Đakovac continued to keep the visitors alive. Only a minute later, Damjanović had a "100%" chance, but again the quick thinking of the visiting goalkeeper prevented our players from reaching the second goal. In those moments, the boys in red and white jerseys uncompromisingly dominated the field.

After several missed opportunities, Zvezda finally scored a second goal in the 39th minute of the game. Initially, Jevđić sent a cross towards the opponent's penalty area, and then the ball bounced to Balša Papović, who sent an indefensible "projectile" towards the Mačva goal from the edge of the penalty area. Right after the second one, the red and whites scored the third goal of the match. This time the scorer was Aleksa Damjanović, who shot very precisely after Jovanović's cross from the left flank.

The red and whites had no plans to stop in the second half, and continued to "siege" the opponent's penalty area. In the 51st minute, Dušan Jovanović shot hard, but the visiting goalkeeper managed to prevent another goal for our team. In the 58th minute, Aleksa Damjanović managed to shake the opponent's net for the fourth time in the match, but his goal was disallowed due to an illegal position.

The red and white scored the officially recognized fourth goal in the 61st minute, and the scorer was the reserve player and real "joker" of our team - Pavle Krstić. After only two minutes spent on the field, Krstić intelligently positioned himself in the opponent's penalty area, and it was easy for him to eventually beat the visitors' goalkeeper and increase the already convincing advantage of our team. Expressly, Zvezda increased the score to 5:0. This time, Subotic put the ball away for Jevdjić, and the team's midfielder Aleksand Linta knocked it in from 10 meters under the bar of the visitors' goal. The players of Crvena Zvezda continued to "siege", and with Subotic's Eurogoal, they reached the sixth goal of the match. The winger of our cadet selection fired a shot from 25 meters, and hit it very precisely against the very left post of Šapčan's goal. The seventh goal for our team was scored by Pavle Krstić with a shot from the box, assisted by Luka Zarić after an attractive dribble.
