In the 4th minute, Eugen Popeneciu fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. After 5 played minutes CF REALCipri got a freekick which was hit by Vasile Luican. When the match clock showed 7 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Sorin Chihaia sped through CF REALCipri's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Pompiliu Sabău.

Sorin Chihaia could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 34th minute of the match, but Pompiliu Sabău made a huge save. 38 minutes into the game, Iosif Lăzăroiu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CF REALCipri's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave C Ａ R D I N Ａ L the free kick. After a rather tough play, CF REALCipri's Iosif Lăzăroiu got a free kick in the 38th minute.

In the 44th minute Eugen Popeneciu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pompiliu Sabău saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

CF REALCipri's Basarab Nicolae got a good chance for a goal in the 72nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The C Ａ R D I N Ａ L fans cheered their team off the field, for while CF REALCipri had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
