The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. STEAUA BUCUREȘTI's Paul Zglimbea played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Răzvan Maruță in the 7th minute of play. 14 minutes into the match, DarkSide's Codrin Anghel sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Paul Zglimbea narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Răzvan Maruță fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Paul Zglimbea having to interfere. Răzvan Maruță sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, DarkSide's Călin Isăceanu got a free kick in the 20th minute. If Maxim Andrițoiu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 24th minute Codrin Anghel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Paul Zglimbea saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 28 minutes into the match, DarkSide's goal looked a bit too open when Maxim Andrițoiu came free, but Remus Marina reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Dan Muja sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Remus Marina showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Maxim Andrițoiu in the 34th minute of the match. The STEAUA BUCUREȘTI players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. DarkSide were winning 0-1.

DarkSide's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
