Muget's Traian Cenușă played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Babhruvahana Jebali in the 4th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dobre Jest in the 7th minute of play forced Muget's goalkeeper Traian Cenușă to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 11 minutes into the match, Słodkie Cytryny's goal looked a bit too open when Costin Piț came free, but Damian Ruszkowski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Traian Cenușă was left in no man's land by his defense there! Cătălin Crașovan's late challenge caught a Słodkie Cytryny's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Cătălin Crașovan helped the player get up and apologised. Cătălin Crașovan kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Babhruvahana Jebali in the 41st managed to get into a good position.

Muget's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Słodkie Cytryny the free kick. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The wind increased when Radu Măliță made the kick off in the second half. Irinel Oros hit a great freekick 50 minutes into the match. After some careless play in the Muget defense, Babhruvahana Jebali kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Traian Cenușă. The Muget fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Traian Cenușă should have stopped the shot. Costin Piț blasted a shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Damian Ruszkowski having to make a save. In the 61st minute Costin Piț shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Damian Ruszkowski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
