Spectators: 166 (Terracing: 125, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Marius Cucerdean started the match with the kick off. After 2 played minutes White&Blue Lions-Stiinta- got a freekick which was hit by Mihnea Elefteriu. Juan-Francisco Encina was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 3rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 4th minute, Airas Tobias left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bada Bing Club fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Claudiu Cobâlcescu didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Aritz Morales went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. Claudiu Cobâlcescu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Andrea Soprano in the 10th minute of the match. When Hugo Soprano came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Bada Bing Club 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 Hugo Soprano couldn't finish the play. Ivan Mereuță hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. 28 minutes into the match, Aritz Morales had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Claudiu Cobâlcescu. White&Blue Lions-Stiinta-'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Aritz Morales was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Nicolás Cabanela was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 32 minutes into the match. After 32 played minutes Bada Bing Club got a freekick which was hit by Nicolás Cabanela. When Aritz Morales came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Bada Bing Club fans jumped to their feet.

Claudiu Cobâlcescu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Aritz Morales in the 46th minute of the match. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Aritz Morales was the one to do the kick off. If Petruț Duca had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 66th minute, Augustin Alecu had to leave the field with a concussion. Lolo Bacete's late challenge caught a White&Blue Lions-Stiinta-'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Lolo Bacete helped the player get up and apologised. White&Blue Lions-Stiinta-'s Marian Hojbota was substituted for Augustin Alecu. A collision led to Bada Bing Club getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Lolo Bacete hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Bada Bing Club's Pablo Cainzos got a free kick in the 71st minute. With a little luck, White&Blue Lions-Stiinta-'s Claudiu Cobâlcescu got control of the ball when Nuno Salazar tried to sneak it across the goal line. When Pablo Cainzos fell near the penalty area in the 77th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bada Bing Club's protests and gave Pablo Cainzos a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Bada Bing Club getting a freekick after 78 minutes play. Pablo Cainzos hit a great ball. Ivan Mereuță took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 78th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Cleto Lastras. Bada Bing Club's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. A hard shot 80 in the game by Aritz Morales from a close distance when the talented Claudiu Cobâlcescu managed to make a qualified save. White&Blue Lions-Stiinta-'s players were relieved. 83 minutes into the match, Bada Bing Club's goal looked a bit too open when Marian Hojbota came free, but Cleto Lastras reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cleto Lastras took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ivan Mereuță, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aritz Morales in the 86th minute of play forced White&Blue Lions-Stiinta-'s goalkeeper Claudiu Cobâlcescu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 93rd match minute, Bada Bing Club was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aritz Morales to maneuver through the defense. If Marian Hojbota had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Bada Bing Club walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
