Spectators: 7658 (Terracing: 5745, Seating: 1761, VIP seats: 152) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Emanuel Cărtărescu took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute, Doru Corbeanu left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Granicerul fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. Narcis Coman didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Gualter Jacinto went, in the 6th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. If Toader Gabrea had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Narcis Coman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gualter Jacinto, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. Luiz Fábio Galvão sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Fábio Lopez fell near the penalty area in the 20th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored PRO-BR™ -P.A.B-'s protests and gave Fábio Lopez a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Granicerul booed when PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 20 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fábio Lopez didn't get a good kick on the ball. Toader Gabreas short, quick shot in the 21stth minute got Abel Barbosa to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Narcis Coman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Joaquim Guedes in the 23rd minute of play. 29 minutes into the game, Luisinho da Mata cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Narcis Coman was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Radu Jușcă kicked well hit freekick during the 41st minute of the match. Abel Barbosa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dorel Albescu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Gualter Jacinto was the one to do the kick off. When Luiz Fábio Galvão came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- 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 Luiz Fábio Galvão couldn't finish the play. PRO-BR™ -P.A.B-'s Abel Barbosa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emanuel Cărtărescu in the 57th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Luisinho da Mata in the 59th minute of play forced Granicerul's goalkeeper Narcis Coman to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Granicerul's Doru Corbeanu, in the 61st minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Granicerul. Abel Barbosa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Dorel Albescu, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. After 64 minutes, Laerte Proença mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- and the Granicerul players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Laerte Proença hit a great ball. Luiz Fábio Galvão fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Narcis Coman having to interfere. 68 minutes into the game, Granicerul's Emanuel Cărtărescu nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Abel Barbosa made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-2. 71 minutes into the game, Radu Jușcă was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Granicerul's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- the free kick. Radu Jușcă hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Toader Gabrea in the 74th minute of play forced PRO-BR™ -P.A.B-'s goalkeeper Abel Barbosa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- defense, Doru Corbeanu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Abel Barbosa. The PRO-BR™ -P.A.B- fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Abel Barbosa should have stopped the shot. Abel Barbosa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Emanuel Cărtărescu in the 87th minute of play. 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. Granicerul fully deserved thier win.
