Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mihail Bălcescu made the kick off which started today's match. If Petre Hurmuzescu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dacia Chișinău's defense didn't have a chance, in the 13th minute, when Petre Hurmuzescu scored to the left of an out of position Teodor Mușătescu, making the score, 1-0. Iustin Chiliman charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Iustin Chiliman the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 16th minute, Iustin Chiliman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 18 minutes into the match, Crusovul CF's Emanuel Zmărăndache sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Teodor Mușătescu narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 19 minutes Dacia Chișinău's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Radu Șipoș who took care of the corner kick. Teodor Mușătescu came out of the goal in the 24th minute to try and stop a shot by Crusovul CF's Emanuel Zmărăndache. But to his dismay, Emanuel Zmărăndache quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-0. 27 minutes into the game, Emanuel Zmărăndache cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0. Teodor Mușătescu was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Dacia Chișinău's zone, Victor Acatincăi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Teodor Mușătescu came out of the goal and Victor Acatincăi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 32 minutes into the match, Emanuel Zmărăndache notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of Dacia Chișinău's Teodor Mușătescu. Teodor Mușătescu was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 38th play minutes Emanuel Zmărăndache shot 5-0, a short shot which went by Teodor Mușătescu and just under the crossbar into goal. The audience was convinced that Petre Hurmuzescu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Teodor Mușătescu was relentless in the 42nd minute of the game. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Petre Hurmuzescu made a kick off. In the 52nd minute Emanuel Zmărăndache shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Teodor Mușătescu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Laurențiu Aaxiniei's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Isac Voiculescu firmly grabbed it by the left post. Petre Hurmuzescu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Teodor Mușătescu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Petre Hurmuzescu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 68th minute, Petre Hurmuzescu 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. After a rather tough play, Crusovul CF's Iustin Chiliman got a free kick in the 75th minute. The long shot by Călin Barbu in the 75th minute really tested Isac Voiculescu's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mihail Bălcescu in the 77th minute of play forced Crusovul CF's goalkeeper Isac Voiculescu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A collision led to Crusovul CF getting a freekick after 86 minutes play. Victor Acatincăi hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Emanuel Zmărăndache in the 92nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Teodor Mușătescu prevented the ball from getting in the gole. A hard, long distance shot from Victor Hurezan flew over the goal. There was no doubt that Crusovul CF were the better team. Crusovul CF's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
