Caramidaru
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Cristian Grecescu got the match started through his kick off. When Costică Avarvarei fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Caramidaru's protests and gave Costică Avarvarei a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Caramidaru getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Costică Avarvarei hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Caramidaru's Octav Mârzac got a free kick in the 4th minute. Cezar Dridu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Octav Mârzac in the 8th minute of play forced Netotul's goalkeeper Tudor Tomescu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Pavel Lupeanu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lucian Bobei was relentless in the 10th minute of the game. Cezar Dridu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Costică Avarvarei got his second yellow card in the match during the 14th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. In the 15th match minute, Caramidaru was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Costică Avarvarei to maneuver through the defense.

But to his dismay, Pavel Lupeanu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Cezar Dridu's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Tudor Tomescu firmly grabbed it by the left post. Cristian Grecescu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 38th minute the ball was on its way in behind Caramidaru's goalkeeper Lucian Bobei, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Cristian Grecescu in the 43rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Lucian Bobei saved Caramidaru from getting behind. If Cezar Dridu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Caramidaru players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Netotul were winning 0-1.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Cezar Dridu to strike the kick off in the second half.

Pavel Lupeanu blasted a shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Lucian Bobei having to make a save. When Cristian Grecescu came up free with the goalie in the 55th minute, the Netotul 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 Cristian Grecescu couldn't finish the play. Pavel Lupeanu could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 67th minute of the match, but Lucian Bobei made a huge save. Pavel Lupeanu received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Lucian Bobei came out and tried to block the shot, but Pavel Lupeanu slotted it home off the left post making it 0-2 in the 67th minute.
