Spectators: 170 (Terracing: 128, Seating: 39, VIP seats: 3) The Dacians Academy fans' excitement grew in the 2nd match minute when Dacians Academy's Xavi Popescu 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 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Iwo Tamulewicz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Dumitru Doloman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Stig-Åke Gabrielsson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Iwo Tamulewicz took the ball and in the 9 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dumitru Doloman. Dumitru Doloman dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2.

In the 11th minute, Kuuno Tälli made a precise shot to the right of Stelian Butuc. Dacians Academy's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. A hard shot 16 in the game by Mario Jakobe from a close distance when the talented Stelian Butuc managed to make a qualified save. Dacians Academy's players were relieved. Dumitru Doloman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Xavi Popescu in the 20th minute of play.

In the 44th minute of the match, Stig-Åke Gabrielsson tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Stelian Butuc saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. In the 47th minute, Viola Invest's Stig-Åke Gabrielsson ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Stelian Butuc. Stelian Butuc yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 3-4. After the first half Dacians Academy were leading 3-4. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Kuuno Tälli to strike the kick off in the second half. The audience was convinced that Kuuno Tälli's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Stelian Butuc was relentless in the 52nd minute of the game.

Stelian Butuc stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Mario Jakobe's shot from short distance in the 58th minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Stig-Åke Gabrielsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. Viola Invest's supporters rose to their feet, but Stig-Åke Gabrielsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Stelian Butuc breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Dumitru Doloman showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Iwo Tamulewicz, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute.

Tobias Emander took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 95th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Stelian Butuc. Dacians Academy's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.
