Billie Hoes started the match with the kick off. Billie Hoes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Francisco Conceicão couldn't finish the play. With an all-out effort, Granicerul's Tartalo Delatorre threw himself towards the right post 21 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Gigel Boeru, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Dorel Lupșe prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 33rd minute, Billie Hoes made a precise shot to the right of Dorel Lupșe. Granicerul's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. Billie Hoes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out.
