Spectators: 7496 (Terracing: 5623, Seating: 1724, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Andrea Pavel took the kick off in the first half of the match. Luís Gustavo Hermes took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cezar Coposu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 4 minutes, Ionel Tudorică mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ghostbusters CF and the Nabucodonosor E.C. FPRMZ players grew even worse after the yellow card. 6 minutes into the game, Patrick Cerezo lined in a short shot 1-0 behind a frustrated Bob Marley. Andrea Pavel hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. In the 11th minute of the game, Willian Almeida landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field.

After a rather tough play, Ghostbusters CF's Andrea Pavel got a free kick in the 12th minute.

Nilmar Nascimento received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Bob Marley tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Marquinhos Baiano fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bob Marley having to interfere.

When Dacian Tadici came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the Ghostbusters CF fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dacian Tadici couldn't finish the play. Andrei Lovin charged in rather forcefully in the 62nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Andrei Lovin the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ionel Tudorică received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Luís Gustavo Hermes tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Duarte Costa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 77th minute, Duarte Costa 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. In the 79th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ghostbusters CF's goalkeeper Bob Marley, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 90th minute, Andrea Pavel 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. Ghostbusters CF's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
