Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ioan Tolea started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the game, Ionică Balotă recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Romeo Alexe. Ionică Balotă showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. Porcusorii's defense didn't have a chance, in the 8th minute, when Ionică Balotă scored to the left of an out of position Romeo Alexe, making the score, 2-0. After a rather tough play, Paclele's Cristian Stolnicu got a free kick in the 12th minute. Ionică Balotă fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Romeo Alexe having to interfere. If Ionică Balotă had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Paclele's zone, Ionică Valerian stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Iurie Crivac came out of the goal and Ionică Valerian tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 26th match minute, Porcusorii was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ionică Valerian to maneuver through the defense. Ionică Balotă sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nicu Bârsan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 40th minute of the match, but Romeo Alexe made a huge save. 46 minutes into the match, Porcusorii's goal looked a bit too open when Ionică Balotă came free, but Romeo Alexe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Ionică Balotă made the kick off in the second half. When Valentin Mihăilă came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Paclele fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Valentin Mihăilă couldn't finish the play. In the 53rd match minute, Porcusorii was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Petrică Mazilu to maneuver through the defense. 55 minutes into the match, Ionică Balotă had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Romeo Alexe. Porcusorii's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ionică Balotă was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. After 61 minutes of play, Paclele's Nicu Bârsan made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Romeo Alexe was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Nicu Bârsan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 71 minutes into the game, Paclele's Mădălin Groșan nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Romeo Alexe made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 5-0. Nicu Bârsan struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Romeo Alexe didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Paclele. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ioan Tolea in the 82nd minute of play forced Paclele's goalkeeper Iurie Crivac to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the Porcusorii defense, Ionică Balotă kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Romeo Alexe. The Porcusorii fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Romeo Alexe should have stopped the shot. A collision led to Porcusorii getting a freekick after 86 minutes play. Petrică Mazilu hit a great ball. In the 89th minute Paclele were awarded a corner. Vintilă Medeleanu went to the cornerflag to take it. There was no doubt that Paclele were the better team. Paclele's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
