Spectators: 156 (Terracing: 117, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) Temida Sf's Pavel Kenov started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 3 minutes into the game, Pavel Kenov cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Nicu Arghirescu was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Pavel Kenov might have been able to make a better finish in the 7th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nicu Arghirescu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Pavel Kenov ran back to his position shaking his head. 7 minutes into the match, Club Sportiv Medgidia's goal looked a bit too open when Pavel Kenov came free, but Nicu Arghirescu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Pavel Kenov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Nicu Arghirescu didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lyubomir Vladikov went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Augustin Horea made a kick off. When Lyubomir Vladikov fell near the penalty area in the 50th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Temida Sf's protests and gave Lyubomir Vladikov a yellow card for diving instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pavel Kenov in the 53rd minute of play forced Club Sportiv Medgidia's goalkeeper Nicu Arghirescu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Iskren Drazhev managed to get in a good position for a shot. Temida Sf's supporters rose to their feet, but Iskren Drazhev was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nicu Arghirescu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Iskren Drazhev received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Nicu Arghirescu came out and tried to block the shot, but Iskren Drazhev slotted it home off the left post making it 0-7 in the 67th minute. 74 minutes into the match, Temida Sf's Iskren Drazhev sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Nicu Arghirescu narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 75 minutes had been played when some careless play by Club Sportiv Medgidia's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.
