Ebendorf
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Denis Scaeru got the match started through his kick off. Vlad Ghimpu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alexandru Postolache, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Cazimir Tudor got free with Vlad Ghimpu in the 9th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 11th minute, Zabrautii SC's Isac Donose seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Isac Donose the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Zabrautii SC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Isac Donose had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Grigore Burdujan was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 15th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. If Nicolae Oroian had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Vlad Ghimpu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Denis Scaeru in the 23rd minute of play. Vlad Ghimpu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Denis Scaeru, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 28 minutes into the match, Ebendorf's goal looked a bit too open when Dacian Manu came free, but Isac Boroș reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 30 minutes into the game, Zabrautii SC's Dacian Manu nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Isac Boroș made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. In the 35th minute, Ebendorf's Denis Scaeru dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-1. In the 38th minute, Marcel Sorin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Isac Boroș showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Grigore Burdujan, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. Isac Boroș took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dacian Manu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Dacian Manu made the kick off in the second half. Alexandru Maghiar tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Isac Boroș. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-3 in the 51st minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Denis Scaeru in the 67th minute of play forced Zabrautii SC's goalkeeper Vlad Ghimpu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 68 minutes into the match, Dacian Manu dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Isac Boroș, 2-6. After 71 played minutes Ebendorf got a freekick which was hit by Matei Bujor. If Dacian Manu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 74 minutes into the match, Dacian Manu notched a goal, 2-7, to the right of Ebendorf's Isac Boroș. Isac Boroș was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 80th minute, Nicolae Oroian reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Isac Boroș. The goal made the score 2-8. Dacian Manu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Isac Boroș tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Isac Boroș showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sever Turdeanu in the 86th minute of the match. Dacian Manu struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Isac Boroș didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Zabrautii SC. Grigore Mumuleanu kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Matei Bujor in the 93rd minute of play forced Zabrautii SC's goalkeeper Vlad Ghimpu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 96th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ebendorf's goalkeeper Isac Boroș, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Zabrautii SC's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
