The supporters of Club 23 booed when FC Acatar was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 32 match minutes in a wonderful position. Leontin Bojin didn't get a good kick on the ball.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cătălin Ticulescu made a kick off. Emilian Barbosu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Codrin Encica read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 53rd minute of play. In the 59th minute Cătălin Ticulescu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vali Jurcuț saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 60 minutes into the match, FC Acatar's goal looked a bit too open when Cazimir Floroiu came free, but Vali Jurcuț reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Vali Jurcuț showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cătălin Ticulescu, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. 63 minutes into the match, Club 23's goalkeeper Codrin Encica had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Răzvan Tastaman.

After having played for 68 minutes, Răzvan Tastaman managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Cazimir Floroiu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The referee ignored FC Acatar's protests and gave Daniel Lipoveanu a yellow card for diving instead. After 92 played minutes, Club 23's Narcis Purcaru shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Vali Jurcuț 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 Club 23 reached it. 95 minutes into the game, Club 23's Cătălin Ticulescu nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Vali Jurcuț made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. The FC Acatar players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Club 23 from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
