Spectators: 7655 (Terracing: 5743, Seating: 1760, VIP seats: 152) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Emiliano Gaztea made the kick off which started today's match. When Emiliano Gaztea fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Knight Of Dawn's protests and gave Emiliano Gaztea a yellow card for diving instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Iulian Chiliman got free with Saverio Orlo in the 8th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Saverio Orlo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vintilă Vârlan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 18 minutes into the match, Romanian Gods™'s Doru Zbârciog sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Saverio Orlo narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 20th match minute, Romanian Gods™ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Emil Văidianu to maneuver through the defense. In the 22nd minute Emiliano Gaztea shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Moise Negru saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Moise Negru came out of the goal in the 25th minute to try and stop a shot by Knight Of Dawn's Delmiro Constancio. But to his dismay, Delmiro Constancio quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 29 minutes into the match, Vintilă Vârlan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Saverio Orlo. Knight Of Dawn's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Vintilă Vârlan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. In the 33rd match minute, Knight Of Dawn was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Delmiro Constancio to maneuver through the defense. Knight Of Dawn's Saverio Orlo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Iulian Chiliman in the 36th minute of play. In the 39th minute, Delmiro Constancio got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 42 minutes into the game, Emiliano Gaztea cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Moise Negru was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Romanian Gods™'s Moise Negru played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Emiliano Gaztea in the 46th minute of play. When Emanuel Stârcea fell near the penalty area in the 47th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Romanian Gods™'s protests and gave Emanuel Stârcea a yellow card for diving instead. After 47 played minutes Romanian Gods™ got a freekick which was hit by Emanuel Stârcea.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Iulian Chiliman was the one to do the kick off. After 52 played minutes Knight Of Dawn got a freekick which was hit by Saturnino Panpili. A collision led to Romanian Gods™ getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Emanuel Stârcea hit a great ball. In the 66th minute, Knight Of Dawn's Hermengildo Pepillo seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Hermengildo Pepillo the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Knight Of Dawn protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Hermengildo Pepillo had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The supporters of Romanian Gods™ booed when Knight Of Dawn was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hermengildo Pepillo didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 67th minute of the match Vintilă Vârlan sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Saverio Orlo skillfully saved the ball. After a rather tough play, Knight Of Dawn's Hermengildo Pietro got a free kick in the 68th minute. Vintilă Vârlan scored 2-2 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Saverio Orlo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 79 minutes into the match, Romanian Gods™'s goalkeeper Moise Negru had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nunez Tonio. In the 93rd minute, Emiliano Gaztea hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 94th minute of the match Vintilă Vârlan shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Saverio Orlo showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 97 minutes into the match, Iulian Chiliman notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of Knight Of Dawn's Saverio Orlo. Saverio Orlo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Romanian Gods™ had played much better football throughout.
