Mihăiţă Moți sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After 42 played minutes Bratisa got a freekick which was hit by Vlad Giurăscu. After 43 played minutes, FC KIcKeR's Iulian Racoviță shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Liviu Zbuchea 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 FC KIcKeR reached it. Vlad Giurăscu struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. Codrin Dobrica didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bratisa.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Viorel Stroie to strike the kick off in the second half.

The ball went over the crossbar instead. 77 minutes into the match, Cosmin Onuț notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Bratisa's Liviu Zbuchea.
