Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The supporters of FC Universitatea Craiova booed when FC Dinamo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marius Bologan didn't get a good kick on the ball. 17 minutes into the match, FC Universitatea Craiova's 蔡国珂 broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Dacian Văcaru could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 22nd minute of the match, but Cătălin Lucian made a huge save. Aurelian Bot struck a weak shot in the 28th minute. Ovidiu Berca didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Universitatea Craiova. Thanks to some nice moves Dacian Văcaru could shoot a difficult shot in the 34th minute, which Cătălin Lucian however easily saved by the left post. If 蔡国珂 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match clock showed 38 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Aurelian Bot sped through FC Dinamo's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Ovidiu Berca. In the 46th minute, Aurelian Bot ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ovidiu Berca was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-3.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Aurelian Bot made a kick off. 蔡国珂 blasted a shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ovidiu Berca having to make a save. Ovidiu Berca showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aurelian Bot, who was totally free with the ball in the 60th minute. 65 minutes into the match, FC Universitatea Craiova's 蔡国珂 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ovidiu Berca narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as FC Universitatea Craiova's Aurelian Bot slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Ovidiu Berca. That made the score 0-4 after 72 minutes of play. 蔡国珂 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Ovidiu Berca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in FC Dinamo's zone, 蔡国珂 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ovidiu Berca came out of the goal and 蔡国珂 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. FC Dinamo's Ovidiu Berca played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aurelian Bot in the 82nd minute of play. FC Universitatea Craiova's Antanas Podėris got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Cătălin Lucian took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emil Mandache, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. FC Universitatea Craiova's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
