NAVIGAȚII BACĂU
Spectators: 149 (Terracing: 112, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Eric Şneapotă started the match with the kick off. Karol Makowski showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Remus Zăraşcu in the 6th minute of the match. If Eric Şneapotă had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eric Şneapotă in the 22nd minute of play forced FC Sójcze's goalkeeper Karol Makowski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in FC Sójcze's zone, Remus Zăraşcu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Karol Makowski came out of the goal and Remus Zăraşcu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. FC Sójcze were furious when Jan Plech was red carded, 27 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. Jan Plech hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. In the 28th minute, Remus Zăraşcu 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. Karol Makowski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eric Şneapotă, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zdzislaw Wawro in the 43rd minute of play forced Navigatii Bacău's goalkeeper Costin Răchitan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. FC Sójcze's Karol Makowski proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 44th minute of the match, managed to save FC Sójcze from getting a goal against them. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Zdzislaw Wawro to strike the kick off in the second half. Karol Makowski showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eric Şneapotă in the 56th minute of the match. In the 60th minute Gigel Curteanu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karol Makowski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the game's 63rd minute Navigatii Bacău's Remus Zăraşcu took a hard shot from long distance, a kick which went into the net just to the right of Karol Makowski and thus the score was 1-0. Gigel Curteanu struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Karol Makowski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Navigatii Bacău. After a rather tough play, FC Sójcze's Krzysztof Majewski got a free kick in the 71st minute. After having played for 76 minutes, Zbyszek Tepper managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Sójcze's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zbyszek Tepper was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. FC Sójcze's Karol Makowski played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gigel Curteanu in the 81st minute of play. Ionel Galiceanu's late challenge caught a FC Sójcze's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ionel Galiceanu helped the player get up and apologised. Ionel Galiceanu hit a great freekick 87 minutes into the match. In the 90th minute, Eric Şneapotă got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The supporters of FC Sójcze booed when Navigatii Bacău was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gigel Curteanu didn't get a good kick on the ball. There was no doubt that Navigatii Bacău were the better team. Navigatii Bacău's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
