The first fifteen minutes of the game were marked by the great aggressiveness of our cadet team, which led to Slađan Nikolić's team creating a handful of chances in front of the visitors' goal, while the Brodarc team mostly defended with all 11 players behind the ball.

Crvena Zvezda scored from the first big chance of the game. In the 19th minute of the game, after Petrović had initially strung up several Brodarc players with his brilliant moves with the ball, he sent a cross that ended up at the feet of Jovanović, who then passed the ball to Pavle Krstić, who impeccably built himself a position, and from the box overcame net keeper Brodarac. After the goal scored by Krstić, the rhythm of the game completely dropped, and that suited our players, who had possession of the ball on their side.

In the 36th minute of the game, Jevđić played brilliantly past Zarić, and the winger was brought down by the Brodarc goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation, and referee Darko Jeknić awarded a penalty kick for our team. The most severe penalty was taken by Aleksa Petrović, who increased the advantage of Crvena Zvezda to 2:0. In the very next attack, the combative Luka Zarić "scratched" the ball from the Brodarc player and passed it to Petrović, and the scorer of Zvezda's second goal was almost inaccurate. From the 37th minute and the second goal scored, Slađan Nikolić's men continued to pressurize the opponent's last line and created a large number of half-chances, but the net of the goal, guarded by Stanković, remained silent until the end of the first part of the game.

The beginning of the second half was also marked by Red Star. Defensive players of Brodarc had no solutions for the whirlwind wings of our team, who were constantly a threat in running behind their guards. In the 53rd minute of the game, Zvezda from Kontranapara had a huge chance. First, Krstić shot from the edge of the penalty area, and then the rebound was met by Jovanović, who tried from the edge of the box, but Stanković managed to save both attempts.

After another solo breakthrough, Zarić found Jovanović with a cross, who was tripped up by Brodarc defenders in the box, and a new penalty was awarded for our team. This time, Luka Zarić was deservedly accurate from the spot, who sent Stanković to the opposite side and gave Zvezda the third goal of the match. Even after the third goal, the football players in red and white did not give up their offensive approach to this game. Even after the substitutions in the wing positions by Slađan Nikolić, our players continued with complete dominance on the lateral parts of the field. in the 75th minute, Petrović tried his shot from a free kick from 20 meters, and was very close to scoring, but the crossbar got in the way. In the 88th minute, our team's left winger Strika also scored a shot, who freed himself from his keeper with a great fake and then shot just over the goal.
