Then, the Ukrainian striker Danyło Sikan equalized. When it seemed that everything was heading for a draw, the hosts dealt the decisive blow. Thanks to the reserve Mihajlo Cvetković, they took the lead, which they did not give up until the end of the match. Moreover, the result on 3:1 was increased by the next substitute Tristan Degreef.
