In the 11th minute, Panait Ferenț hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee felt a red card was in order, 18 minutes into the game, when Vinicio Perico put in a rough tackle. After 17 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for CA INCAS!

Fabio Txerran struck a weak shot in the 31st minute. Corneliu Chirea didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for CA INCAS.

Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

After 91 minutes of play, TAXI-MM-'s Ernest Strugure made it 3-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Esteve Cerilo was left in no man's land by his defense there! Fabio Txerran sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 96th minute, Panait Ferenț hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the match was over TAXI-MM- could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than CA INCAS throughout the match.
