Five days ago, our team on the road in the town of Vranje met Serbia and won — 6:1. Now, however, opponents played a match in Hungarian Berettyóujfalu.

The Ukrainians started the game more actively, regularly breaking through, but Vuлич was up to the task. On the 11th minute, Korsun intercepted the ball on the opponent's half but did not score. Subsequently, Serbs briefly seized the initiative but failed to capitalize on their opportunities.

On the 16th minute, Abakshin in close combat could not outplay Vuлич. In turn, the Balkan players managed to open the scoring — Petров well from distance hit home. Before halftime, Semenchenko and Lebid were breaking through, but the Serbian goalkeeper was on duty.

After halftime, Ukrainians pushed forward, created several opportunities, including Zhuk failing to push the ball past Vuлич. The opponents responded with a dangerous shot by Matievich from an acute angle. On the 26th minute, our team managed to equalize — Zhuk handled himself well in front of the opponent's goal.

After this, Raichevich hit close to the 'nine-yard box', and Abakshin helped Serbia by positioning himself under a dangerous shot from Semenchenko. The end of the match was played in battle, and on the last few minutes our team was saved several times by Savenko. So we have a draw result — 1:1.
