For the first time, Bahar found himself on the touchline as Zvezda's coach, and it seemed good, considering the fact that the team gathered just seven days ago. The Israeli expert is not the only one for whom this is his first match, as Glazer, Nedeljković, Stamenić, Ado and Šljivić also made their debuts. Dragović wore the captain's armband at the start of the match, while Mijailović had that honor in the second half.

Zvezda controlled the game from the start, but the first shot on goal was seen in the 13th minute when Ivanić, after Katai's dropped ball, shot at Tasić from the edge of the penalty area. The first goal was seen in the 19th minute when Vigo put the ball away for Mitrović, and he did the same for Jovan Mijatović, who routinely beat Tasić from ten meters away. Three minutes later, Stamenić almost scored his first goal in the red and white jersey, but the shot on the ground managed to be controlled by the home goalkeeper.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, the home team equalized in the 32nd minute when captain Lazović beat Glazer, after coming "eye to eye" with him. Once again, Stamenić, although it is not his primary task, found himself in a possible chance in the 36th minute, but he hit the post with his head, after Ivanić's cross. Stamenić did everything nicely in the 41st minute when he found Mijatović with a pass, and he shot wide of the goal from a good position. In the 42nd minute, Aleksandar Katai ensured that the tie did not go to rest. Mitrović crossed, Radojević managed to intervene, but only as far as Magik, who handles himself fantastically in the box and makes no mistakes.

Bahar replaced the entire team at halftime, and already in the 47th minute, Srnić hit the crossbar after a header from Mituljikić's cross. Soon after a series of dribbles, the creative Mituljikić shot just over the crossbar. Despite being in the position of stopper, Gobeljić managed to find himself in front of the rival's goal in the 63rd minute, accept Prucev's pass and beat Djokovic with a volley.

Prucev was dangerous, so in the 73rd minute, after dribbling, he put Šljivić to work, and he remained a millimeter short and was prevented from pushing the ball into the net. Scattered were young footballers who got a chance in the continuation of the game, and Bahar had the opportunity to see Zvezda's future in action. Jovan Mituljikić, who replaced his brother Nikola, found himself in an ideal chance in the 78th minute. Stankovic found it fantastically, but Djokovic stood out and managed to defend. By the end of the match, both Šljivić and Lucić shook the post, but the result did not change.
