FC Luck's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alonzo Eguen was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Horea Zăreanu took the ball and in the 12 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Delmiro Veto.

In the 23rd minute Osvaldo Ursino shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Emilian Şunda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Alonzo Eguen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Emilian Şunda was relentless in the 23rd minute of the game.

Emilian Şunda took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alonzo Eguen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Felix Codreanu in the 38th minute of play forced United.SF's goalkeeper Delmiro Veto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Flavius Fința had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Olimpiu Necula made the kick off in the second half. The audience thought a goal was coming when Alonzo Eguen got free with Emilian Şunda in the 59th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.
