Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Jonathan Alphonse made the kick off and thus started the match. Ernso Constant's late challenge caught a RapidBarcelona's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ernso Constant helped the player get up and apologised. After 3 played minutes Haiti got a freekick which was hit by Ernso Constant. Sergiu Stănoiu, 4 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After a rather tough play, Haiti's Ernso Constant got a free kick in the 7th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Olimpiu Remus in the 11th minute of play forced Haiti's goalkeeper Noel Seide to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 12 minutes had been played when some careless play by Haiti's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Sergiu Stănoiu was slow to take the kick. During this time RapidBarcelona's players had a chance to rest. In the 19th match minute, Haiti was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jonathan Alphonse to maneuver through the defense. 23 minutes into the match, Olimpiu Remus had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Noel Seide. Haiti's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Olimpiu Remus was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. A collision led to Haiti getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Felix Dorval hit a great ball. Haiti's Noel Seide played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Olimpiu Remus in the 38th minute of play. 40 minutes into the match, Haiti's goal looked a bit too open when Olimpiu Remus came free, but Noel Seide reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Olimpiu Remus was the one to do the kick off. In the 57th minute, Olimpiu Remus got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 60th minute, Haiti's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Olimpiu Remus fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After 62 minutes, Eugen Săndoi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the RapidBarcelona and the Haiti players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 62nd minute, Eugen Săndoi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Philippe Ambroise received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Narcis Lucan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Olimpiu Remus fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Noel Seide having to interfere. RapidBarcelona'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.
