The home team took the lead in the 17th minute through Trajković, but as if that further motivated Nenad Milijaš's players to take matters into their own hands. Kostov had a good chance already in the next attack, but Zvezda equalized in just three minutes. Kostov lined up three Spartak players, and then the ball reached Dario Markočević, who routinely beat Minic. Chances in front of Spartak's goal kept coming, and Kostov and Mladenović's shots ended up being blocked, while Đorđević and Tasić were constant threats on the flanks.

It didn't take long for Zvezda to completely turn the score around, and the scorer was Vasilije Kostov in the 28th minute. By passing into the empty space, Tasić "threw out" Stojković, who crossed for Kostov, and the talented offensive player hit a corner from the first. In the 38th minute, Gaštarov tried a shot from distance, but our team went into the break with a goal advantage.

Already at the start of the second half, we saw another goal for Zvezda, and the scorer was Andrej Mladenović. Đorđević "pulled" the attack, and freed up space for Mladenović, who then delayed the ball with his heel, and the midfielder of our team scored a beautiful goal, hitting only the crossbar of Minić's goal.

Zvezda dominated, there were more chances, and it was worth mentioning in the 84th minute when Ranković found Stojković with a cross on the right flank, and the whirlwind defender shot past the post. Kostov could have scored in stoppage time, but this was enough to make a great prelude to the Youth Champions League.
