Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Silviu Şoimu made the kick off which started today's match. Mircea Marian might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Eliodor Buciu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mircea Marian ran back to his position shaking his head. Silviu Şoimu scored 0-1 in the 8th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Iurie Balotă, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 11 minutes into the game, FC Maci -MM-'s Avram Terzian nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Eliodor Buciu made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. Iurie Balotă came out of the goal in the 19th minute to try and stop a shot by YR☆Bald Eagle™'s Ivan Goșa. But to his dismay, Ivan Goșa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Ivan Goșa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iurie Balotă having to interfere. After some careless play in the FC Maci -MM- defense, Silviu Şoimu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Iurie Balotă. The FC Maci -MM- fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Iurie Balotă should have stopped the shot. After a rather tough play, FC Maci -MM-'s Horea Cutieru got a free kick in the 36th minute. Iurie Balotă made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Silviu Şoimu in the 38th minute of play. In the 39th minute, Edgar Vărzaru left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The YR☆Bald Eagle™ fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-4. In the 44thth minute of the game Silviu Şoimu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Maci -MM-'s Iurie Balotă was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Mircea Marian was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 47th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After the first half YR☆Bald Eagle™ were leading 1-4. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Avram Terzian made the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute, Avram Terzian hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ivan Goșa struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Iurie Balotă didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for YR☆Bald Eagle™. In the 54th minute Eugen Spoială shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eliodor Buciu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 57th minute Ivan Goșa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Iurie Balotă saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Iurie Balotă came out of the goal in the 59th minute to try and stop a shot by YR☆Bald Eagle™'s Silviu Şoimu. But to his dismay, Silviu Şoimu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-5. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Silviu Şoimu managed to get in a good position for a shot. YR☆Bald Eagle™'s supporters rose to their feet, but Silviu Şoimu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Iurie Balotă breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 67th minute of the match, Ivan Goșa tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Iurie Balotă saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Iurie Balotă made an important save on a dangerous shot by Petre Ştefănescu in the 70th minute. YR☆Bald Eagle™ made a substitution. Dragoş Codreanu replaced Cristinel Lipan. The supporters of YR☆Bald Eagle™ booed when FC Maci -MM- was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alex Encuțoiu didn't get a good kick on the ball. Iurie Balotă acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 73rd minute, took the ball on the long shot from Edgar Vărzaru. 75 minutes into the match, FC Maci -MM-'s goal looked a bit too open when Ivan Goșa came free, but Iurie Balotă reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 76 minutes into the match, FC Maci -MM-'s goalkeeper Iurie Balotă had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Vintilă Ticulescu. In the 79th minute Avram Terzian shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eliodor Buciu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Petre Ştefănescu in the 81st minute of play forced FC Maci -MM-'s goalkeeper Iurie Balotă to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 86th minute, Vintilă Ticulescu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Iurie Balotă was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-7.
