After a rather tough play, Unicorns ™'s Dumitru Geoană got a free kick in the 11th minute. After 12 played minutes, Hartmann Futebol Clube's Richard Marques shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Isac Drâmba 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 Hartmann Futebol Clube reached it. After a rather tough play, Hartmann Futebol Clube's Wesley de Brito got a free kick in the 21st minute. Hartmann Futebol Clube's Cesinha Tande proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 23rd minute of the match, managed to save Hartmann Futebol Clube from getting a goal against them.

Richard Marques sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 29th minute Wesley de Brito shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Isac Drâmba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 32 minutes, Denis Negruț took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Cesinha Tande to make any attempt to save it. After 34 minutes of play, Unicorns ™'s Calistrat Mihalcea made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cesinha Tande was left in no man's land by his defense there! The Unicorns ™ fans' excitement grew in the 44th match minute when Unicorns ™'s Petrică Ţirpescu looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 3-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Denis Negruț made a kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Denis Negruț notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of Hartmann Futebol Clube's Cesinha Tande.

After 64 played minutes Hartmann Futebol Clube got a freekick which was hit by Renan Faria. Celsinho Sanches who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 75thth minute tested the skills of Isac Drâmba when he managed to save the team from getting behind. 77 minutes into the game, Unicorns ™'s Calistrat Mihalcea nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot.

Cesinha Tande stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Denis Negruț's shot from short distance in the 81st minute. Celsinho Sanches was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 90th minute. Hartmann Futebol Clube's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Celsinho Sanches received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Isac Drâmba came out and tried to block the shot, but Celsinho Sanches slotted it home off the left post making it 6-2 in the 93rd minute.
