A collision led to FC ARGES getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Cristinel Cosor hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 15th minute, Grigore Cristoiu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Olympia SC Bucureşti's supporters rose to their feet, but Grigore Cristoiu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Adrian Carp breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 20th minute, FC ARGES's Matei Zbârnea dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0.

FC ARGES's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Olympia SC Bucureşti the free kick. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Matei Zbârnea to make the kick off. When FC ARGES's Matei Zbârnea in the 52nd minute got a chance for a shot 52nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Olympia SC Bucureşti's goalie prevented a goal. Mircea Elefteriu struck a weak shot in the 54th minute. Mihăiţă Cumpanașu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC ARGES. Mihăiţă Cumpanașu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Matei Zbârnea, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 57 minutes, Ammar Al Jalahma mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Olympia SC Bucureşti and the FC ARGES players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Adrian Carp took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Grigore Cristoiu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Olympia SC Bucureşti's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
