Francis Coppola recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

In the 8th minute, Constantin Costăchescu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 12th minute the ball was on its way in behind ARCADA FC's goalkeeper Edgar Vlădean, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Edgar Vlădean showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Francis Coppola, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute.
