They threatened the red and whites already in the sixth minute of the game. Initially, Luka Ilić sent a cross into the box from the break from the right flank, and the highest in the jump was the most advanced footballer of our team - Endiaje, but his header ended up just over the crossbar. Just a few tens of seconds later, Rodić had a similar opportunity as Endiaje, but his attempt after the corner also ended up above the goal of the Subotica team.

Vladan Milojević's team crowned a great start to the game, and took the lead in the 18th minute of the match. First of all, it was preceded by a center kick from the corner from the right flank by Luka Ilić, the ball was caught by Krunić, and then Silas was the most skillful, scoring a goal from close range.

The quick-footed Silas again threatened Dulic's goal in the 23rd minute of the match, but his new attempt after a cross ended just wide of the post. Endiaje took advantage of the clumsy reaction of Subotica's defense and shot from a few meters away, but Spartak's players managed to kick the ball off the goal line.

Vladan Milojević's men completely dictated the pace of the match after scoring a goal, and through possession and short passes, they created opportunities in front of Spartak's goal. After Rodić's excellent cross from the left side in the 39th minute of the match, Seol sent a strong shot from 15 meters, but the goalkeeper of the home team was safe.

Once again, the players of Crvena Zvezda showed that interruptions are one of the strongest "weapons" of our team. In the 41st minute, Milan Rodić scored the second goal for our team with a very strong and accurate header, assisted by Luka Ilic, who sent a phenomenal free kick.

In the 50th minute of the match, the player Endiaje was knocked down in an illegal manner in the penalty area of Spartak, and the referee Radaković pointed to the penalty spot. Endiaye once again confirmed his exceptional goal-scoring form, and was unerring from the penalty spot and increased the team's lead. Subotica scored their first goal of the game in the 58th minute through Bijelović.

Luka Ilić could have scored in the 61st minute when he shot brilliantly on the ground after a phenomenally delayed ball from Endiaje, but his attempt ended just wide of the left post of Spartak's goal. Crvena zvezda reached the fourth goal of the match through Milson in the 62nd minute. Initially, with his "solo slalom", Silas strangled the defenders of Spartak, and then he delayed the pass for Milson, who managed to shake the net of Dulic from the box. Aleksandar Katai, the best scorer in the history of the Serbian Super League, scored the fifth goal for our team. Radonjić sent a center shot from the right flank, and Katai headed very hard and hit the crossbar again for Subotica.
