Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Albertinho Alagoano took the kick off in the first half of the match. Shi Jing Feng sent away a hard shot on goal in the 2nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Olimpiu Josan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 4th minute of the match, but Marioara Matei made a huge save. After 9 minutes, Dong Xiong mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the -BZF- Petrolul Berca and the Tornadele Siret players grew even worse after the yellow card. Dong Xiong hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match. Aquilino Ponte could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 13th minute of the match, but Marioara Matei made a huge save. Marioara Matei showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Adrian Mutu, who was totally free with the ball in the 25th minute. 26 minutes into the match, -BZF- Petrolul Berca's goal looked a bit too open when Adam Vârnav came free, but Marioara Matei reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Ronaldinho Marioara managed to get in a good position for a shot. -BZF- Petrolul Berca's supporters rose to their feet, but Ronaldinho Marioara was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

In the 62nd minute Shi Jing Feng shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ricardinho Lopes saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Shi Jing Feng had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
