Haiti's Jean Marie Alcius quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. 58 minutes into the match, Haiti's goal looked a bit too open when Artur Prohorov came free, but Noel Seide reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 63rd minute Artur Prohorov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noel Seide saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emil Giuverdea took the ball and in the 66 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Noel Seide. Noel Seide dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-1. After a defensive mix-up in Haiti's zone, Lucrețiu Berceanu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Noel Seide came out of the goal and Lucrețiu Berceanu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Virgil Oprișan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Emil Giuverdea in the 81st minute of play forced Haiti's goalkeeper Noel Seide to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Horea Tomoioagă did an outstanding performance 85 minutes into the match, when he by himself got past the opposing team's defense and with a quick scored 5-1 to the right of an irritated Noel Seide in the goal. After 89 played minutes Haiti got a freekick which was hit by Jean Claude Ulysse. Emil Giuverdea recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 89th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Noel Seide took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emil Giuverdea, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. The Sharks Constanta had played much better football throughout.
