The match began with a minute of silence, and the actors of the match wore T-shirts in honor of the victims of the tragedies that befell Serbia in the previous days.

Several red-white shots in the opening moments of the match clearly determined the continuation of the match and announced that Zvezda would quickly take the lead. The game was played in the sixth minute when Kanga crossed from the corner, Aleksandar Pešić positioned himself well and saved Katic with his head, showing that the injury for the center forward from Niš is a thing of the past. Milojević's pulls did not deviate from the attacking philosophy, so Ivanić shot just past the post in the 26th minute, while the home team mostly focused on counter attacks, which were rare.

Ivanić did not stop, so even in the 32nd minute he almost beat Katić, who was in a rush from the start of the match. Pešić almost doubled our team's advantage in the next attack, but then the goalkeeper of the home team came out of that duel more successful and sent the ball into the corner. Another attempt by Pešić managed to tame Katic, but Nikolic almost scored a Eurogoal. The 45th minute was played when a kick from almost 25 meters was launched into the crossbar, the ball fell on the goal line, but did not go all the way around, so the result did not change.

Pešić also threatened in the 50th minute when the moody Kanga crossed for him, but Katic was in the right place and stopped the header. The red and whites had a new chance only six minutes later when Mitrović shot from the first, but Katic intervened, although the goal was "hanging in the air". After a long time on the field, we saw a recovered Veljko Nikolić, who, together with Mituljikić and Rakonjec, replaced Kangva, Prucev and Pešić.

Mituljikić's run in the 68th minute ended with a shot over the goal, and in the next attack, Zečević blocked Ivanić's shot on the goal line, preventing Zvezda from entering a calmer final. Milojević continued to rotate, so Katai and Mijatović were on the field, instead of Ivanić and Mitrović, and it was the popular Beckham who made his debut in the red and white jersey. The 72nd minute was played, and Mijatović accepted the ball at 16 meters, turned and practically kept two Voždovac players on his back, and then doubled our team's advantage with a routine execution and confirmed the victory.
