Except for the opportunity that Luka Zarić had, the first 20 minutes of the game were marked by a "trenches" fight in the middle of the field, in which our team managed somewhat better, which had more possession than its rival. Zvezda had a chance to score in the 26th minute of the match, when Luka Zarić sent a cross from the right flank towards the box of the New Belgrade team, and then Aleksa Petrović headed it, but his attempt ended up over the goal. The home team took the lead in the 32nd minute through Miloš Petrović.

After the stoppage in the 40th minute of the game, the red and whites threatened the home team's goal, when Aleksa Petrović found Ognjen Ivković, who sent a header, but Borović was up to the task.

Our football players started fiercely in the second part of the game, with the desire to score the equalizer as soon as possible. The first recorded shot was in the 53rd minute, when the reserve player - Subotić, tried his shot from 25 meters, but Borović managed to control his shot. In the 59th minute of the game, Miloš Petrović increased IMT's lead to 2:0 from the penalty spot.

Immediately after entering the game, Pavle Krstić was the threat for the home team's goal. Luka Zarić once again directed a cross towards him, and then Krstić shot, but Borović was not defeated this time either. Krstić shot again in the 72nd minute, from the IMT penalty area, but once again the ball ended up in the hands of the home goalkeeper. Zvezda's opportunities became rare, but the network of the New Belgrade team could not be shaken. Petrović tried a shot in the 74th minute, but his shot from the box also ended up over the goal. The home team reached the third goal in the 81st minute, and Lazar Janićijević hit the net.
