Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Doru Stănoiu made the kick off which started today's match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Gabriel Agârbiceanu during the 3rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Lucrețiu Balaeț made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vintilă Buzescu in the 5th minute of play. Lucrețiu Balaeț showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Doru Stănoiu in the 10th minute of the match. 11 minutes into the match, Pusta's goalkeeper Octav Băcioiu had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Stelian Gogu. After having played for 12 minutes, Doru Stănoiu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pusta's supporters crossed their fingers, but Doru Stănoiu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Lucrețiu Balaeț took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Eusebiu Barbăsură, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to Roxi getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Aristide Neghină hit a great ball. In the 25th minute, Stelian Gogu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Octav Băcioiu was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. After a rather tough play, Roxi's Aristide Neghină got a free kick in the 28th minute. Roxi's Lucrețiu Balaeț played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Doru Stănoiu in the 30th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 31st minute, Ferdinand Măgurean managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pusta's supporters rose to their feet, but Ferdinand Măgurean was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lucrețiu Balaeț breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Ferdinand Măgurean came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the Pusta 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 Ferdinand Măgurean couldn't finish the play. Doru Stănoiu scored 1-1 in the 37th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Lucrețiu Balaeț, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Lucrețiu Balaeț stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Doru Stănoiu's shot from short distance in the 41st minute. Ferdinand Măgurean fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lucrețiu Balaeț having to interfere. Pusta's attack was well implemented in the 44th minute, but when Doru Stănoiu was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick. Lucrețiu Balaeț came out of the goal in the 45th minute to try and stop a shot by Pusta's Ferdinand Măgurean. But to his dismay, Ferdinand Măgurean quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Aristide Neghină made a kick off. Ferdinand Măgurean struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Lucrețiu Balaeț didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pusta. Pusta's Doru Stănoiu got a good chance for a goal in the 60th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Doru Stănoiu took the ball and in the 66 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lucrețiu Balaeț. Lucrețiu Balaeț dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-4. If Traian Porumbescu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ferdinand Măgurean's late challenge caught a Roxi's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ferdinand Măgurean helped the player get up and apologised. Stelian Gogu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Doru Stănoiu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With his leg Lucrețiu Balaeț managed to avoid a goal in the 96thth minute, when Pusta's Doru Stănoiu fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Pusta's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
