Spectators: 7729 (Terracing: 5798, Seating: 1777, VIP seats: 154) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mihnea Necșulescu made the kick off which started today's match. Hernan Olayo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 2nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Leonard Fința having to interfere. Leonard Fința made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alejo Leheren in the 4th minute. Alejo Leherens short, quick shot in the 6thth minute got Leonard Fința to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. After having played for 8 minutes, Gabriel Poncio managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tama's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gabriel Poncio was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. FC Urzicuța's Leonard Fința proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 10th minute of the match, managed to save FC Urzicuța from getting a goal against them. Alejo Leheren scored 1-0 in the 13th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Leonard Fința, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The audience was convinced that Maximo Bizen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Leonard Fința was relentless in the 23rd minute of the game. When Gabriel Poncio came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Tama 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 Gabriel Poncio couldn't finish the play. 41 minutes into the match, Lorenzo Silvanito notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of FC Urzicuța's Leonard Fința. Leonard Fința was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Andrei Nicola had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Hernan Olayo got free with Leonard Fința in the 48th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Leonard Fința took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Maximo Bizen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. FC Urzicuța's Leonard Fința played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gabriel Poncio in the 57th minute of play. The supporters of Tama booed when FC Urzicuța was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nik Nicola didn't get a good kick on the ball. Tama's Ramon Pere was substituted for Zacarias Sotero. After 65 played minutes FC Urzicuța got a freekick which was hit by Nik Nicola. Alejo Leheren recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 67th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some careless play in the FC Urzicuța defense, Maximo Bizen kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Leonard Fința. The FC Urzicuța fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Leonard Fința should have stopped the shot. In the 73rd minute, one of FC Urzicuța:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for FC Urzicuța. The supporters of Tama booed when FC Urzicuța was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tudor Bratoloveanu didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 90th minute Nicasio Asteri shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leonard Fința saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 94 minutes into the game, Tama's Maximo Bizen nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Leonard Fința made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 5-1. Leonard Fința made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hernan Olayo in the 98th minute of play. There was no doubt that Tama were the better team. Tama's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
