Zrinjski defeated the opponent from Prijedor with a goal by Antoni Ilic in the 7th minute.
Igor Štimac sent Karačić, Lagumdžija, Mikić, Mamić, Sušić, Ilic, Nalić, Jakovljević, Đurasek, Dujmović and Bilbija to the Pod Bijelim Brijegom stadium, while Perica Ognjenović chose Dubljanić, Corral, Romero, Garcia, Ramić, Ritzmaier, Puentes, Roncalo, Grbić and Mrđa as starters.
Mostar took the lead already in the 7th minute, when Marcel Ritzmaier made a mistake. Leo Mikić took the ball from him in the away penalty area and shot, goalkeeper Mišo Dubljanić saved, but only to Antoni Ilic, who had no difficulty hitting the net from close range.
Until the end of the match, the defending champions failed to assert themselves as a dominant team, which the last-placed Rudar used in some twenty minutes of the second half for a slight initiative, but without concrete effect.
In the 78th minute, Jorge Cano Bolivar, one of the eight Spaniards on the scoresheet for Rudar, launched a counterattack, but Goran Karačić did not allow himself to be overcome.
