After 23 played minutes, BATALIONUL 20 -STEAUA-'s Mădălin Muntian shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ştefan Nichita came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line.

Costin Senin hit a great ball.

In the 57th minute the ball was on its way in behind BATALIONUL 20 -STEAUA-'s goalkeeper Iustinian Mitrofan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Cristian Comarnescu shot from long distance in the 59th minute, but Iustinian Mitrofan was prepared and stopped the ball at the left post. If Cosmin Iovan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Nae Voinea got free with Iustinian Mitrofan in the 77th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

The referee ignored Dejani CF's protests and gave Cristian Comarnescu a yellow card for diving instead.
