Spectators: 7443 (Terracing: 5583, Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Șerban Ilarie made the kick off which started today's match. Șerban Ilarie sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Alex Zăvoiu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Șerban Ilarie, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. When Cezar Barbosu fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Holobani AS's protests and gave Cezar Barbosu a yellow card for diving instead. After 7 played minutes Holobani AS got a freekick which was hit by Cezar Barbosu. Lion Messi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Florin Bociort having to interfere. Holobani AS's Șerban Ilarie was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 11th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Robert Opaina got free with Alex Zăvoiu in the 17th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Șerban Ilarie's late challenge caught a Precopoia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Șerban Ilarie helped the player get up and apologised. In the 27th match minute, Holobani AS was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Șerban Ilarie to maneuver through the defense. Florin Bociort made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Lion Messi in the 35th minute of play. After some careless play in the Holobani AS defense, Lion Messi kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Florin Bociort. The Holobani AS fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Florin Bociort should have stopped the shot. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lion Messi to make the kick off. When the match had gone on for 57 minutes, Lion Messi took a quick shot and it went in 1-2 without a chance for Florin Bociort to make any attempt to save it.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Alessandro Addari got free with Florin Bociort in the 62nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Lion Messi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Alessandro Addari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lion Messi struck a weak shot in the 67th minute.

In the 74th minute, Lion Messi 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.

Sever Bănățeanu took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 76th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Alex Zăvoiu. Precopoia's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Antônio Carlos dos Santos was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 77th minute. Precopoia's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 78th minute Sorin Focșa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Florin Bociort saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 85th minute, Alessandro Addari made a precise shot to the right of Florin Bociort. Holobani AS's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-3. The audience was convinced that Lion Messi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Florin Bociort was relentless in the 95th minute of the game. Precopoia's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
