Malariska
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Adam Răzvan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Damian Bârsan's shot from short distance in the 6th minute. If Dragoş Fărcășan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Alexandru Pătru might have been able to make a better finish in the 8th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Virgil Corcoveanu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Alexandru Pătru ran back to his position shaking his head. 9 minutes in the game, Dragoş Fărcășan fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Virgil Corcoveanu having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Dorel Dridu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Adam Răzvan was relentless in the 16th minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Dorel Dridu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Toporul CF's supporters rose to their feet, but Dorel Dridu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Adam Răzvan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Damian Bârsan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Toporul CF's supporters rose to their feet, but Damian Bârsan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Adam Răzvan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Dorel Dridu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 27th match minute, Malariska was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Petre Bogdan to maneuver through the defense. When Dorel Dridu came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Toporul CF 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 Dorel Dridu couldn't finish the play. 31 minutes into the match, Damian Bârsan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Adam Răzvan. Malariska's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Damian Bârsan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. When Iacob Rebengiuc fell near the penalty area in the 37th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Malariska's protests and gave Iacob Rebengiuc a yellow card for diving instead. Iacob Rebengiuc hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Dragoş Fărcășan was the one to do the kick off. Octavian Melentie hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. Bogdan Ilie was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 56th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Virgil Corcoveanu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alexandru Pătru in the 59th minute of the match. If Dorel Dridu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Toporul CF's zone, Alexandru Pătru stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Virgil Corcoveanu came out of the goal and Alexandru Pătru tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Virgil Corcoveanu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dragoş Fărcășan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Damian Bârsan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Dorel Dridu struck a weak shot in the 77th minute. Adam Răzvan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Toporul CF. When Petre Bogdan fell near the penalty area in the 83rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Malariska's protests and gave Petre Bogdan a yellow card for diving instead. After 84 played minutes Malariska got a freekick which was hit by Petre Bogdan. Adam Răzvan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dorel Dridu in the 90th minute of play. If Alexandru Pătru had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Toporul CF played a much better game than Malariska and deserved their victory. The Malariska players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
