Spectators: 7540 (Terracing: 5656, Seating: 1734, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hernan Socorro got the match started through his kick off. When Mădălin Agrigoroaiei fell near the penalty area in the 5th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★'s protests and gave Mădălin Agrigoroaiei a yellow card for diving instead. After having played for 8 minutes, Florin Andone managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Florin Andone was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Saturnino Leobardo might have been able to make a better finish in the 13th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Liviu Pârlog. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Saturnino Leobardo ran back to his position shaking his head. 16 minutes into the game, Marin Cînu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Cristo Elivareo was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. With a little luck, Barrialito AFC's Cristo Elivareo got control of the ball when Marin Cînu tried to sneak it across the goal line. Barrialito AFC's Cristo Elivareo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Florin Andone in the 25th minute of play. Cristo Elivareo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Florin Andone in the 28th minute of play. 33 minutes into the match, Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★'s goal looked a bit too open when Saturnino Leobardo came free, but Liviu Pârlog reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 42nd minute Alex Barbă shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristo Elivareo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 46th minute, Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★'s Florin Andone ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Cristo Elivareo. Cristo Elivareo yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-0. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The wind increased when Marin Cînu made the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute Corneliu Costăchescu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristo Elivareo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 59 minutes into the match, Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★'s goal looked a bit too open when Hernan Socorro came free, but Liviu Pârlog reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Mădălin Agrigoroaiei kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. When Alex Barbă came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★ fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Alex Barbă couldn't finish the play. If Hernan Socorro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Saturnino Leobardo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 90 played minutes Gelb Fußballverein★DAC★ got a freekick which was hit by 김 옹. Cristo Elivareo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mihail Bukovinský, who was totally free with the ball in the 92nd minute.
