The heavy rains that fell throughout the day in Kragujevac made the conditions on the field of the Čika Dača stadium much more difficult. The ball rolled hard on the grass, which reduced the possibility for teams to get serious opportunities and dangerous zones through the passing game. However, in the 10th minute, Voša had the first big chance, after a stolen ball 30 meters away, a quick pass to Simić followed. Simić connected Nikolić perfectly in front of the goal, but his shot from the box was stopped by goalkeeper Leković.
After that, there followed a period without distinct chances, with a big fight in the middle of the field. Vojvodina had possession of the ball, tried to build actions, and created the next good one in the 40th minute. After a new action on the left flank through Đorđević, the ball came to Nikolić who played a pass to Simić, who aimed for the second corner, but Leković intervened again. Yves Baraye ran into the rebound, but he failed to react better and hit the net.
All in all, Vojvodina completely dominated, even on a difficult pitch, because Radnički did not direct a single shot at Lazar Carević’s goal in the first half.
The home team played better at the start of the second half of the game and managed to shift the game closer to Vojvodina’s goal. Radnički had the first attempt in the continuation, in the 59th minute, Maksimović headed, but not strong enough for Carević.
