But to his dismay, Nicu Bârsan quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. If Nicu Bârsan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Mugurel Murgu fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Paclele's protests and gave Mugurel Murgu a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Paclele getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Mugurel Murgu hit a great ball. Iurie Crivac showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Radu Nebunu, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. In the 22nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Paclele's goalkeeper Iurie Crivac, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Nicu Bârsan took the ball and in the 27 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Valer Zdrelea. Valer Zdrelea dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. If Mădălin Groșan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Valer Zdrelea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ionică Balotă, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Udvarhelyi defense, Ionică Balotă kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Valer Zdrelea. The Udvarhelyi fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Valer Zdrelea should have stopped the shot. Mugurel Murgu was shown his second yellow card after 43 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After 43 played minutes Paclele got a freekick which was hit by Mugurel Murgu. Leontin Tiberiu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Valer Zdrelea tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-4.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Nicu Bârsan made a kick off. With a little luck, Udvarhelyi's Valer Zdrelea got control of the ball when Nicu Bârsan tried to sneak it across the goal line. 58 minutes into the match, Udvarhelyi's goalkeeper Valer Zdrelea had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nicu Bârsan. Leontin Tiberiu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 68th minute, Panait Udrescu got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Radu Nebunu in the 71st minute of play forced Paclele's goalkeeper Iurie Crivac to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With his leg Valer Zdrelea managed to avoid a goal in the 77thth minute, when Paclele's Nicu Bârsan fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Nicu Bârsan who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 79thth minute tested the skills of Valer Zdrelea when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After 84 minutes of play, Paclele's Nicu Bârsan made it 1-5 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Valer Zdrelea was left in no man's land by his defense there! Valer Zdrelea made an important save on a dangerous shot by Nicu Bârsan in the 88th minute. Nicu Bârsan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
