Motohani
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nicu Albuț took the kick off in the first half of the match. Nae Glodeanu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Marius Ciolac in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Cristi Tripon saved Motohani AC from getting behind. Nae Glodeanu could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 17th minute of the match, but Andrei Mândrilă made a huge save. Nicu Albuț recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Marius Ciolac had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Constantin Gheorghiu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nicu Albuț fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cristi Tripon having to interfere. Constantin Gheorghiu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 38 minutes of play, Bradetelu's Nicu Albuț made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cristi Tripon was left in no man's land by his defense there! After the first half Bradetelu were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Constantin Gheorghiu stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Andrei Mândrilă showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Constantin Gheorghiu in the 55th minute of the match. 59 minutes into the match, Motohani AC's goal looked a bit too open when Nicu Albuț came free, but Cristi Tripon reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 61 minutes, Codruț Ciordaș mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bradetelu and the Motohani AC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 61st minute, Codruț Ciordaș hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 63rd play minutes Nae Glodeanu shot 1-1, a short shot which went by Andrei Mândrilă and just under the crossbar into goal. Nicu Albuț fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cristi Tripon having to interfere. Marius Ciolac sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Codruț Ioviță hit a great freekick 74 minutes into the match. In the 79th minute Nicu Albuț shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristi Tripon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Marius Ciolac sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Constantin Gheorghiu fell near the penalty area in the 89th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Motohani AC's protests and gave Constantin Gheorghiu a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Motohani AC's Constantin Gheorghiu got a free kick in the 89th minute. Marius Ciolac could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 97th minute of the match, but Cristi Tripon made a huge save. Motohani AC succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Bradetelu had controlled the match.
