Cueni AC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave U Craiova the free kick. If Horea Frumușanu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 6th minute, Romeo Crețulescu 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Horea Frumușanu managed to get in a good position for a shot. U Craiova's supporters rose to their feet, but Horea Frumușanu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Iulian Tăgorean breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 12 played minutes, U Craiova's Constantin Buzea shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Iulian Tăgorean came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in U Craiova reached it. Iulian Tăgorean didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Horea Frumușanu went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score.

When the match had gone on for 23 minutes, Horea Frumușanu put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Iulian Tăgorean.

U Craiova's supporters crossed their fingers, but Călin Pamfil was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
