Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Estefan Hernandez got the match started through his kick off. Rareș Papadima received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Xorxe Soldado tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 12th minute Estefan Hernandez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Corneliu Vulpăşin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, Unicorns ™'s Corneliu Vulpăşin got control of the ball when Ruperto Mendez tried to sneak it across the goal line. Corneliu Vulpăşin made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ruperto Mendez in the 20th minute. After having played for 22 minutes, Petrică Ţirpescu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Unicorns ™'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Petrică Ţirpescu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Unicorns ™'s Corneliu Vulpăşin proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 25th minute of the match, managed to save Unicorns ™ from getting a goal against them. 27 minutes into the match, ClUb DePoRtIvO LUGO's goal looked a bit too open when Petrică Ţirpescu came free, but Xorxe Soldado reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After 28 minutes, Tudor Bodea made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. ClUb DePoRtIvO LUGO's Xorxe Soldado tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 32nd minute, Unicorns ™'s Denis Negruț seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Denis Negruț the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Unicorns ™ protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Denis Negruț had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 32 played minutes Unicorns ™ got a freekick which was hit by Denis Negruț. Baltazar Fonticoba charged in rather forcefully in the 34th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Baltazar Fonticoba the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Baltazar Fonticoba hit a great freekick 34 minutes into the match. Xorxe Soldado took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tudor Bodea, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Corneliu Vulpăşin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Estefan Hernandez in the 41st minute of play. If Tudor Bodea had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.
