Spectators: 3087 (Terracing: 2316, Seating: 710, VIP seats: 61) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ali Nurettin took the kick off in the first half of the match. ADM Taquaras's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Áron Bódog in the 6th minute. After 7 played minutes ADM Taquaras got a freekick which was hit by Celsinho Perez. Oliver Bierhoff's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jalmari Mikkonen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 9th minute of play. Ali Nurettin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jeremias Moreno having to interfere. Ali Nurettin scored 0-1 in the 14th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Jeremias Moreno, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Jeremias Moreno showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Petruț Mircescu in the 16th minute of the match. Jalmari Mikkonen came out of the goal in the 18th minute to try and stop a shot by ADM Taquaras's Oliver Bierhoff. But to his dismay, Oliver Bierhoff quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Petruț Mircescu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jeremias Moreno having to interfere. Oliver Bierhoff could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 24th minute of the match, but Jalmari Mikkonen made a huge save. In the 27th minute, ADM Taquaras's Miki Moco seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Miki Moco the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of ADM Taquaras protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Miki Moco had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 26 minutes into the game, one of ADM Taquaras:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. 29 minutes into the match, Ali Nurettin notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of ADM Taquaras's Jeremias Moreno. Jeremias Moreno was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Jalmari Mikkonen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Celsinho Perez, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cido Cabral hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. If Radowit Dziuma had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The ADM Taquaras players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Pinner Cluj-Napoca were winning 1-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Áron Bódog made a kick off. Pinner Cluj-Napoca's Jalmari Mikkonen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Áron Bódog in the 53rd minute of play. With a little luck, ADM Taquaras's Jeremias Moreno got control of the ball when Petruț Mircescu tried to sneak it across the goal line. Jalmari Mikkonen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Radowit Dziuma, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. After 65 played minutes Pinner Cluj-Napoca got a freekick which was hit by Adan Umea. 70 minutes into the game, Petruț Mircescu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-3.

In the 83rd minute Nestor Soeiro shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jalmari Mikkonen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nestor Soeiro took the ball and in the 86 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Jalmari Mikkonen. Jalmari Mikkonen dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-3. Pinner Cluj-Napoca's Franco Vázquez was substituted for Cristian Gallo. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nestor Soeiro in the 91st minute of play forced Pinner Cluj-Napoca's goalkeeper Jalmari Mikkonen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ali Nurettin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jeremias Moreno read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 92nd minute of play.
