Spectators: 6704 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1704, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Gică Muslea started the match with the kick off. Gheorghe Lipan made an important save on a dangerous shot by Cosmin Miclauș in the 3rd minute. If Octav Muscaș had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bula Mea's Dorin Buzgar couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 7th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Zabrani. In the 13th minute, Gică Muslea left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Zabrani fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. In the 15th match minute, Bula Mea was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Felix Tecău to maneuver through the defense. Bula Mea's Gheorghe Lipan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 17th minute of the match, managed to save Bula Mea from getting a goal against them. Cosmin Miclauș fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gheorghe Lipan having to interfere. 26 minutes into the match, Bula Mea's goalkeeper Gheorghe Lipan had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cosmin Miclauș. In the 28th minute the ball was on its way in behind Bula Mea's goalkeeper Gheorghe Lipan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Zabrani's Gică Muslea got a good chance for a goal in the 38th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 42nd minute, Bula Mea's Martin Groza seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Martin Groza the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Bula Mea protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Martin Groza had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 41 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Bula Mea! The goalkeeper, Gheorghe Lipan, was totally fooled by Zabrani's Stelian Geantă, who 44 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. When Felix Tecău fell near the penalty area in the 47th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bula Mea's protests and gave Felix Tecău a yellow card for diving instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Filip Pancu made a kick off. Gheorghe Lipan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cosmin Miclauș in the 54th minute of play. Gică Muslea recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 61st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mihăiţă Simionescu charged in rather forcefully in the 62nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Mihăiţă Simionescu the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Mihăiţă Simionescu hit a great freekick 62 minutes into the match. Filip Pancu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Felix Tecău struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Tiberiu Drăgan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bula Mea. Bula Mea's Filip Pancu got a good chance for a goal in the 69th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 71 minutes into the match, Bula Mea's goal looked a bit too open when Cosmin Miclauș came free, but Gheorghe Lipan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 75th minute, Petruț Lechințan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Gheorghe Lipan didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Gică Muslea went, in the 78th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. In the 81st match minute, Bula Mea was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Dorin Buzgar to maneuver through the defense. After recieving a nice pass, Zabrani's Stelian Geantă tried to score from far away in the 82nd minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Gheorghe Lipan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gică Muslea, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 94th minute, Cosmin Miclauș ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Gheorghe Lipan was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-0.
