ANONYMOUS's Adrian Elefterescu tried to score from far away in the 5th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. After 7 minutes, Ivan Navarro mouthed his way into the referee's book.

Aristide Geambașu hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. 29 minutes into the match, Edmundo Espiga had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Sandu Răuţă. -BZF- F.C.

Sandu Răuţă took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sebastian Villa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Sebastian Villa struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Sandu Răuţă didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Honduras. After some fancy dribbling in the 68th minute, Edmundo Espiga managed to get in a good position for a shot. Honduras's supporters rose to their feet, but Edmundo Espiga was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sandu Răuţă breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

Edmundo Espiga scored 2-1 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Sandu Răuţă, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

After 84 played minutes Honduras got a freekick which was hit by Luca Espinar.

When Esteban Carvallo fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Honduras's protests and gave Esteban Carvallo a yellow card for diving instead. -BZF- F.C. ANONYMOUS's Iulian Balc was substituted for Lucrețiu Botgros. If Edmundo Espiga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Honduras had played much better football throughout.
