Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Cristi Gâțea took the kick off in the first half of the match. Codrin Tilea charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Codrin Tilea the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, LUCEAFARUL BUCURESTIULUI's Codrin Tilea got a free kick in the 4th minute. If Nicodim Şantău had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Irinel Achifoaiei showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fabian Șeitan, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. The long shot by Codrin Tilea in the 13th minute really tested Calistrat Cârneci's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. FCSB CLUJ's Calistrat Cârneci played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristi Gâțea in the 15th minute of play. Nicodim Şantău scored 0-1 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Irinel Achifoaiei, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Horea Senin struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Irinel Achifoaiei didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FCSB CLUJ. Cristi Moldovan hit a great freekick 21 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in LUCEAFARUL BUCURESTIULUI's zone, Fabian Șeitan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Irinel Achifoaiei came out of the goal and Fabian Șeitan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Nicodim Şantău sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 47th minute Fabian Șeitan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Irinel Achifoaiei saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The LUCEAFARUL BUCURESTIULUI players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. FCSB CLUJ were winning 0-3.

Nicodim Şantău sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Cristi Gâțea came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the LUCEAFARUL BUCURESTIULUI fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Cristi Gâțea couldn't finish the play. Nicodim Şantău fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Irinel Achifoaiei having to interfere. Nicodim Şantău sent away a hard shot on goal in the 66th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fabian Șeitan got free with Irinel Achifoaiei in the 67th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Calistrat Cârneci took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cristi Gâțea, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 79th minute, Fabian Șeitan fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post.

Nicodim Şantău struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Irinel Achifoaiei didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FCSB CLUJ. 96 minutes into the match, Fabian Șeitan notched a goal, 1-4, to the right of LUCEAFARUL BUCURESTIULUI's Irinel Achifoaiei. Irinel Achifoaiei was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.
