Spectators: 509 (Terracing: 382, Seating: 117, VIP seats: 10) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gheorghe Craioveanu took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ionuț Răica showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Victor Piţurcă, who was totally free with the ball in the 2nd minute. 2 minutes into the game, Emerald's Victor Piţurcă nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ionuț Răica made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. When Victor Piţurcă came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Emerald 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 Victor Piţurcă couldn't finish the play. The throw-in from Ferdinand Gârneț in the 9th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Emerald's Hurşit Cemşit. Emerald's Hurşit Cemşit quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Iulian Unciuleanu, made in the 16th minute of the game. Emerald's attentive Hurşit Cemşit managed to snatch the ball when Ferdinand Gârneț made a throw-in in the 21st minute of the game. Victor Piţurcă sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Victor Piţurcă in the 28th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ionuț Răica prevented the ball from getting in the gole. 30 minutes in the game Ferdinand Gârneț did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Vicente Cresencio. Ionuț Răica showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gheorghe Craioveanu in the 36th minute of the match. 顾昆烨 charged in rather forcefully in the 37th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 顾昆烨 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 顾昆烨 kicked well hit freekick during the 37th minute of the match. Fc Lothlorien's Ionuț Răica played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Victor Piţurcă in the 38th minute of play. 38 minutes into the match, Victor Piţurcă had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ionuț Răica. Fc Lothlorien's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Victor Piţurcă was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Victor Piţurcă in the 42nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ionuț Răica saved Fc Lothlorien from getting behind. After 44 minutes of play, Emerald's Victor Piţurcă made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ionuț Răica was left in no man's land by his defense there!

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Berkin İftihar made a kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Berkin İftihar notched a goal, 1-4, to the right of Emerald's Bogdan Lobonț. Bogdan Lobonț was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 61 minutes into the match, Emerald's goal looked a bit too open when Vicente Cresencio came free, but Bogdan Lobonț reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A hard shot 67 in the game by Gheorghe Craioveanu from a close distance when the talented Ionuț Răica managed to make a qualified save. Fc Lothlorien's players were relieved. 顾昆烨 scored 2-4 in the 69th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Bogdan Lobonț, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Iulian Unciuleanu made in the 72nd minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Emerald's Gabriel Mălaimare. 73 minutes into the match, Fc Lothlorien's goal looked a bit too open when Victor Piţurcă came free, but Ionuț Răica reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Victor Piţurcă might have been able to make a better finish in the 74th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ionuț Răica. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Victor Piţurcă ran back to his position shaking his head. Ionuț Răica took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Victor Piţurcă, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Fc Lothlorien defense, Gheorghe Craioveanu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ionuț Răica. The Fc Lothlorien fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ionuț Răica should have stopped the shot. Victor Piţurcă blasted a shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ionuț Răica having to make a save. With a little luck, Fc Lothlorien's Ionuț Răica got control of the ball when Gheorghe Craioveanu tried to sneak it across the goal line. Emerald's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Julio Iglesias in the 87th minute. If Victor Piţurcă had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Victor Piţurcă in the 90th minute of play forced Fc Lothlorien's goalkeeper Ionuț Răica to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Emerald's Hurşit Cemşit quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Iulian Unciuleanu, made in the 91st minute of the game. Niculae Negreanu struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. Ionuț Răica didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Emerald.

The Emerald players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
