Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Damian McTom started the match with the kick off. Croft 1's Emilian Bivolaru played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Damian McTom in the 4th minute of play. If Florin Răducu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 7 minutes, Gabriel Condrea managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Croft 1's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gabriel Condrea was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 10th minute Damian McTom shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emilian Bivolaru saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emilian Bivolaru made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Damian McTom in the 16th minute of play. Damian McTom scored 0-1 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emilian Bivolaru, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Emilian Bivolaru took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Damian McTom, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 30 minutes of play, Kells's Damian McTom made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Emilian Bivolaru was left in no man's land by his defense there! Emilian Bivolaru showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Daithi Holt in the 40th minute of the match. Florin Răducu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Gabriel Condrea received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 48th minute. Bartley Glen Crowe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
