Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gabriel Bâlea got the match started through his kick off. 6 minutes had been played when some careless play by FC Los Angeles's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Gheorghe Burca was slow to take the kick. During this time Corobesti's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Corobesti's Gheorghe Burca to fire away a dangerous shot which Călin Drăgoescu despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in FC Los Angeles's zone, Felix Bulă stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Călin Drăgoescu came out of the goal and Felix Bulă tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Corobesti's Ionuț Bogatu was substituted for Aurel Şunda.
