Crvena zvezda opened this match phenomenally and took the lead in the fourth minute. Luka Zarić shook the home team's net with a phenomenal assist from Damjanović. In the fifth, the forward of Zvezda put the ball away for the energetic winger of our team, who shot very calmly and accurately, and scored the first goal of the game.
Aleksandar Linta's players played as if in a "trance", increasing their advantage to 0:2 already in the seventh minute. After a great cross from the left flank, Zarić initially hit the crossbar, and then, after a "carom" in the TSC box, Aleksa Petrović passed the ball into the net, who continues with top games this season. Our cadets did not want to stop, and despite the two goals scored, they continued to be the better opponent on the field. They dominated in the middle of the field, and they redirected it to the lateral positions, where they made the main advantage over the team from Bačka Topola with speed. Petrović had a great opportunity for his second goal of the game, but his shot sent from the left edge of the box managed to be saved by Milićević. In the 31st minute of the game, Damjanović was also a threat for TSC's goal, but the goalkeeper of the team from Bačka Topola was once again up to the task.
Petrović failed, but Luka Zarić scored his second goal of the match. Jevđić found him with a precise ball into the area, and it was not difficult for Zarić to overtake his guards and beat Milićević, who was powerless, on the second attempt. In the 34th minute, Red Star led 0:3. Zvezda had a "100%" chance just a few minutes later for the fourth goal, but this time Milićević managed to save the home team and save Jovanović's shot. The red and white team scored the fourth goal in the first half, more precisely in the 44th minute. Initially, Zarić made a phenomenal run on the counter, and then sent a sharp cross, which the stopper of the home team - Trifović, diverted into his own net, thus defeating Milićević.
The team from Bačka Topola scored the first goal of the game in the 53rd minute, through Miahilović. Damjanović found himself in a great opportunity in the 59th minute of the game, after a "teledirected" pass from Jevdjić, but once again Milićević stopped the Zvezda striker's attempt.
The TSC team scored the second goal of the match in the 68th minute, and the scorer was Gicić. The red and whites then slowed down the rhythm of the game, and took the initiative in the middle of the field, thus forcing the home team to make mistakes. The red and white team, even with one less player on the field, managed to bring this game to an end with a solid and fighting game, and register three new points.
