In the 9th minute, Felsorepa SC's Iustin Ioniță seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Iustin Ioniță the red card, dismissing him from the pitch.

If Lucian Ghiurutan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Adam Balc managed to get in a good position for a shot. Felsorepa SC's supporters rose to their feet, but Adam Balc was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Liviu Gavra breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 21st minute, Mircea Pașcanu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Matei Zărnescu made a fantastic save in the 25th minute, when Avram Mangra sent off a good shot on target. 26 minutes into the game, Felsorepa SC's Lucian Ghiurutan nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lucian Ghiurutan to make the kick off. In the 53rdth minute of the game Mircea Pașcanu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Felsorepa SC's Matei Zărnescu was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The supporters of Felsorepa SC booed when Leghea Bihorului was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gigel Hurmuzache didn't get a good kick on the ball. Lucian Ghiurutan took the ball and in the 64 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Liviu Gavra. Liviu Gavra dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. In the 67th match minute, Leghea Bihorului was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Vlad Abrudan to maneuver through the defense. The long shot by Octav Stoican in the 80th minute really tested Liviu Gavra's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. After 80 played minutes Leghea Bihorului got a freekick which was hit by Gigel Hurmuzache. When the match clock showed 84 minutes, the score became 2-3 when Ion Baltian sped through Leghea Bihorului's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Liviu Gavra. After 88 played minutes, Leghea Bihorului's Alexandru Maxim shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Matei Zărnescu came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Leghea Bihorului reached it. In the 89th minute, Ion Baltian hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Vlad Abrudan fell near the penalty area in the 94th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.
