Taking into account the yesterday’s victory of “Dacia” over “Speranta”, “Sheriff” had to win to keep the advantage. So, from the beginning the “yellow-blacks” moved ahead and constantly created the goal-scoring opportunities near the opponent’s goal. The first dangerous moment took place already on the 4th minute when the massive attack of “Sheriff” led to the strong kick performed by Balima, Kristofovich parried the shot but let Samardzic to make the second one after that the ball was fixed by the keeper. The first half was marked by strong fight for the ball – the teams were actively rivaling in the middle of the field trying to win space for conducting attacks. A little bit later Stanojevic made a shot but failed to hit the goal. “Olimpia” reacted to that moment only by Kozlov’s distant kick which was not dangerous. In the next episode Pascenco showed the excellent personal skills – he picked the ball up near the penalty area, entered into it, beat several players and crossed to Balima who, unfortunately, didn’t manage to shot. One minute later, Balima hit the target but the goal was cancelled because he was in offside. After the strong “Sheriff’s” start, in the middle of the first half “Olimpia” conducted several attacks – Kozlov, Arbanas were marked out. Five minutes before the end of the first half, Balima distinguished himself after all. Pesic received the ball in the penalty area and made the excellent pass to Balima who scored into the empty goal. Two minutes later one episode occurred which caused a storm among the players of “Olimpia”.

The ball was in the net but was cancelled. “Olimpia” being indignant with the cancelled goal spent the rest of the half strongly enough but without creating dangerous moments.
During the second half Dedov lost some good opportunities, it seemed that he couldn’t find his play – his shots hit the goalkeeper or missed the goal. However, Alexandr was very active and ready to receive the pass and make a shot. Only six minutes passed from the beginning of the second half and the score became 2:0. Our forwards switched their roles and already Balima assisted Pesic. After Balima’s pass Aleksandar received the ball and shot in the far corner.
