Spectators: 7524 (Terracing: 5673, Seating: 1700, VIP seats: 151) Tudor Enceanu started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Emanuel Enciulescu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tudor Enceanu in the 6th minute of play. Tudor Enceanu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 12 minutes into the game, Nechifor Marica was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. A4p Manchester United's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Pocruia AS the free kick. Nechifor Marica kicked well hit freekick during the 12th minute of the match. Emanuel Enciulescu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Costică Filipoiu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 17th minute, Costică Filipoiu 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. If Vintilă Ghimpu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 22 minutes into the match, Pocruia AS's goal looked a bit too open when Nechifor Marica came free, but Dorin Măguran reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 27 minutes, Vintilă Ghimpu made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. A4p Manchester United's Emanuel Enciulescu tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 30th minute, A4p Manchester United's Emanuel Tăbăcaru ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Dorin Măguran. Dorin Măguran yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-2. An unexpected shot in the 33rd minute by Nechifor Marica got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. The supporters of A4p Manchester United booed when Pocruia AS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 35 match minutes in a wonderful position. Valer Andronic didn't get a good kick on the ball. Pocruia AS's Vintilă Ghimpu got a good chance for a goal in the 43rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 45 played minutes, Pocruia AS's Cazimir Cocoș shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Emanuel Enciulescu 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 Pocruia AS reached it. After the first half Pocruia AS were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Nechifor Marica made the kick off in the second half. The supporters of A4p Manchester United booed when Pocruia AS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Doru Ene didn't get a good kick on the ball. Nechifor Marica fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dorin Măguran having to interfere. Dorin Măguran didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Costin Bot went, in the 59th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-2 was the resulting score. After 62 played minutes A4p Manchester United got a freekick which was hit by Francisc Traian. Costică Filipoiu's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Emanuel Enciulescu firmly grabbed it by the left post. The nice shot from Vintilă Ghimpu in the 66thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Emanuel Enciulescu had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Eduard Sabău struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Dorin Măguran didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for A4p Manchester United. The crowd rose to their feet as Pocruia AS's Tudor Enceanu slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Emanuel Enciulescu. That made the score 2-3 after 73 minutes of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Costică Filipoiu in the 76th minute of play forced A4p Manchester United's goalkeeper Emanuel Enciulescu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 81 minutes into the match, Pocruia AS's goal looked a bit too open when Nechifor Marica came free, but Dorin Măguran reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Costin Bot hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. In the 90th minute Costin Bot shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dorin Măguran saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match was over Pocruia AS could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than A4p Manchester United throughout the match.
