In the 43rd minute Iulian Torouţ shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nebi Ziver saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Iulian Torouţ was the one to do the kick off.
