Spectators: 7658 (Terracing: 5745, Seating: 1761, VIP seats: 152) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nicodim Mărculescu kicked off to start the match. OLD SCHOOL's Nicodim Mărculescu got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 7 minutes into the game, Mugur Corduneanu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. AFC Ivanda's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave OLD SCHOOL the free kick. Manole Ghiță sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ovidiu Bungescu came out of the goal in the 16th minute to try and stop a shot by AFC Ivanda's Cornel Mirciulescu. But to his dismay, Cornel Mirciulescu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Ionuț Bulencea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nicodim Mărculescu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 24 minutes into the match, Dumitru Boeru notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of AFC Ivanda's Ionuț Bulencea. Ionuț Bulencea was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, AFC Ivanda's Manole Ghiță got a free kick in the 26th minute. Nicodim Mărculescu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 30th minute. Ionuț Bulencea tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, OLD SCHOOL's Nicodim Mărculescu got a free kick in the 37th minute. After a rather tough play, OLD SCHOOL's Horea Demian got a free kick in the 39th minute. Ilie Tăutu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ovidiu Bungescu having to interfere. After having played for 43 minutes, Nicodim Mărculescu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. OLD SCHOOL's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nicodim Mărculescu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Alin Covaliu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Manole Ghiță made a kick off. OLD SCHOOL were awarded a corner in the 61th minute after AFC Ivanda's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Horea Demian took the corner. A nice corner shot did that Horea Demian got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Ionuț Bulencea quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. 68 minutes into the match, OLD SCHOOL's Nicodim Mărculescu sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ionuț Bulencea narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 75thth minute of the game Nicodim Mărculescu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but AFC Ivanda's Ionuț Bulencea was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Ovidiu Bungescu was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Manole Ghiță showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 4-2 in the 88 minute of play. Ionuț Bulencea made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Alin Covaliu in the 91st minute of play. In the 94th minute, Petre Zărnescu 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. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. OLD SCHOOL fully deserved thier win.
