Nichifor Bărboianu kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. Constantin Curăreanu took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 75th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Gavril Hulubei. SR Brasov's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Petre Lucescu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Eliodor Pietreanu read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 76th minute of play.

Petre Lucescu could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 82nd minute of the match, but Eliodor Pietreanu made a huge save. 85 minutes into the match, SR Brasov's goal looked a bit too open when Damian Vasilescu came free, but Gavril Hulubei reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
