Sever Vintilescu scored 1-3 in the 34th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ştefan Gârniceanu, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Denis Sitaru hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. Ştefan Gârniceanu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sever Vintilescu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Gavril Burnei to strike the kick off in the second half. If Fabian Geambașu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
