Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Antal Valentin made the kick off which started today's match. Antal Valentin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Petruț Arapașu read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. In the 9th minute, Hungary's Katona Janos seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Katona Janos the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Hungary protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Katona Janos had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 8 minutes into the game, one of Hungary:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Hungary:s Fodor Daniel showed great skill when he stopped Arman Harlén:s penalty. Petruț Arapașu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Takacs Tibor in the 12th minute of the match.

Hegedus Henrik sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 36 minutes had been played when some careless play by Hungary's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Arman Harlén was slow to take the kick. During this time ★POLI★™★VIOLA★'s players had a chance to rest. A well-hit corner resulted in Leontin Hârtopanu heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. The audience thought a goal was coming when Marin Dindelegan got free with Fodor Daniel in the 48th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Marin Dindelegan to strike the kick off in the second half. Fodor Daniel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Leontin Hârtopanu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hungary's Fodor Daniel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Leontin Hârtopanu in the 57th minute of play. If Leontin Hârtopanu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When ★POLI★™★VIOLA★'s Marin Dindelegan in the 65th minute got a chance for a shot 65th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Hungary's goalie prevented a goal. In the 66th minute, Dorel Iulian hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Takacs Tibor came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the Hungary 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 Takacs Tibor couldn't finish the play. Balazs Lajos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Petruț Arapașu having to interfere. Petruț Arapașu made an important save on a dangerous shot by Takacs Tibor in the 79th minute. In the 80th minute, Balazs Lajos 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 Marin Dindelegan in the 84th minute of play forced Hungary's goalkeeper Fodor Daniel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 90 minutes into the match, Marin Dindelegan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fodor Daniel. Hungary's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Marin Dindelegan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Fodor Daniel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Constantin Bădila, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to Hungary getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Major Barna hit a great ball.
