Today in the Indoor Arena of the Sheriff sporting complex there was a great match between FC Sheriff and FC Dacia. From the very beginning it was clear that the game will not be easy. The teams played fast and there had been a lot of battles in midfield, but there have been almost no real chances in the first half. However, Sheriff attacked much sharper and created several very good opportunities. In the first half the most remarkable opportunities were when Samardzic produced a header after the cross from Stanojevic from the corner kick, and the disallowed goal, when Stanojevic crossed to Balima, who was off-side. The unpleasant surprise also was the injury of Zveaghintev, that made the Sheriff head coach spare one substitution. Despite all the longing of both teams to deliver the ball to the penalty area and to create danger in front of goal, the first half still ended 0-0.

In the second half Sheriff built even more pressure and the opportunities became more dangerous. At first Pesic skillfully shot. He came up to the penalty area and produced a good and powerful shot, trying to hit the upper corner, but the ball went slightly upwards. A little later there was a dangerous shot from Pascenco, but the ball also went wide. Markovski, who came on substitution, got the ball in the penalty area, but the Dacia defense didn't allow him to make a shot. And in the end of the second half Sheriff made another one dangerous combination. Markovski received the ball and wonderfully passed it to Pascenco, who showed a good dribbling, went past several players, entered the penalty area, but also missed the net. Despite all efforts, the ball failed to go into the goal of Gaidukevich and therefore the match ended in a draw 0-0, leaving the margin between two teams intact. Despite the goalless draw Sheriff confidently moves to another championship title. From eleven games left not to become a champion Sheriff has to lose four, considering that Dacia wins its matches, and it is highly unlikely.
