It looked like things would be much easier when Serbian footballer Aleksandar Čavrić scored in the fifth minute to make it 1:0. Then in the 66th, Sharana Zuberu doubled the lead and it seemed that everything was decided. However, fear and patience followed. Hrvoje Barišić reduced the score in the 75th, and in the third minute of stoppage time, Antonio Ivančić scored to make it 2:2.
