Santiago Bernabeu
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Radu Amărculesei took the kick off in the first half of the match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mihai Oargă during the 2nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 2nd minute, Mihai Oargă hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Dorin Hritcu took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Robert Codruț. Robert Codruț dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. If Stelian Mohora had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dorin Hritcu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ilie Croitoru made a fantastic save in the 16th minute, when Stelian Mohora sent off a good shot on target. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Silviu Chitimia in the 22nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Robert Codruț saved Real Madrid from getting behind. Gheorghe Muscaș's late challenge caught a Grojdibodu FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gheorghe Muscaș helped the player get up and apologised. After 25 played minutes Real Madrid got a freekick which was hit by Gheorghe Muscaș. A sloppy throw-in by Leonard Tudorache in the 29th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Real Madrid's Stelian Mohora. In the 30th minute, Martin Şerban left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Real Madrid fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. 33 minutes into the match, Real Madrid's goal looked a bit too open when Dorin Hritcu came free, but Robert Codruț reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Martin Şerban sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Alexandru Penescu to strike the kick off in the second half. Alexandru Penescu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ilie Croitoru made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Stelian Mohora in the 63rd minute of play. Stelian Mohora fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ilie Croitoru having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Grojdibodu FC's Aurelian Pavelescu got a free kick in the 65th minute. Ilie Croitoru showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alexandru Penescu in the 81st minute of the match. In the 85th minute, Leonard Tudorache hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Silviu Chitimia came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Grojdibodu FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Silviu Chitimia couldn't finish the play. Silviu Chitimia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Robert Codruț tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Although Real Madrid had been in control for most of the match, Grojdibodu FC still came away with the win.
