Sumita
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Irinel Hosu started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Irinel Hosu struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Iustin Săvoiu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Huda AFC. Avram Ichim fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iustin Săvoiu having to interfere. 10 minutes into the match, Sumita's goal looked a bit too open when Avram Ichim came free, but Iustin Săvoiu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 14th minute Avram Ichim shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Iustin Săvoiu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 15th minute, Dragoş Arseanu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Avram Ichim had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Sumita defense, Cătălin Stere kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Iustin Săvoiu. The Sumita fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Iustin Săvoiu should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Irinel Hosu in the 30th minute of play forced Sumita's goalkeeper Iustin Săvoiu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 0-2 became the score in the 32nd minute when Irinel Hosu elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Adrian Măcrineanu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ştefan Pascaru having to interfere. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gabriel Chibulcutean made a kick off. 58 minutes into the match, Sumita's goal looked a bit too open when Irinel Hosu came free, but Iustin Săvoiu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 59th minute, Irinel Hosu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Iustin Săvoiu was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-3. After 64 minutes, Cătălin Stere mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Huda AFC and the Sumita players grew even worse after the yellow card. Cătălin Stere kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. 66 minutes into the match, Gabriel Chibulcutean notched a goal, 1-3, to the right of Huda AFC's Ştefan Pascaru.

In the 90th minute Sumita were awarded a corner. Dragoş Cucerzan went to the cornerflag to take it. In the 92nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Sumita's goalkeeper Iustin Săvoiu, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After having played for 93 minutes, Irinel Hosu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Huda AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Irinel Hosu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
