Spectators: 165 (Terracing: 124, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) Gábor Puskás made the kick off and thus started the match. M. Dedy Giatrakis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Chris Chevalier, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 4th minute of the match Chevaliers FC got a corner. MICE F.C.'s goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Augustin Ţopescu ran over to the corner to take the kick. Chevaliers FC's Augustin Ţopescu was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but M. Dedy Giatrakis in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 5th minute, Pavlos Markos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. M. Dedy Giatrakis made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Denis Ştercă in the 5th minute of play. If Avraam Poupalos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Pavlos Markos in the 8th minute of play forced Chevaliers FC's goalkeeper Fabian Lucescu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 15th minute MICE F.C. were awarded a corner. Gábor Puskás went to the cornerflag to take it. Emanuel Ivănescu tried to clear up in front of Fabian Lucescu but instead he got an unlucky hit on the ball which made it go via the left pole into goal meaning 1-0 in the 15th matchminute. A very disappointing self made goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Chris Chevalier in the 19th minute of play forced MICE F.C.'s goalkeeper M. Dedy Giatrakis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 21st minute Chris Chevalier shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but M. Dedy Giatrakis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Giovanni Parisis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. MICE F.C.'s Pavlos Markos got a good chance for a goal in the 28th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Gábor Puskáss short, quick shot in the 34thth minute got Fabian Lucescu to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Gábor Puskás took the ball and in the 36 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fabian Lucescu. Fabian Lucescu dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Radu Borza was the one to do the kick off. In the 51st minute, Rareș Secoşan 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. The supporters of MICE F.C. booed when Chevaliers FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Petrică Luncaniță didn't get a good kick on the ball. 57 minutes into the match, Gábor Puskás had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fabian Lucescu. Chevaliers FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Gábor Puskás was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. Radu Borza's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but M. Dedy Giatrakis firmly grabbed it by the left post. MICE F.C.'s M. Dedy Giatrakis proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 63rd minute of the match, managed to save MICE F.C. from getting a goal against them. After 65 minutes, Denis Ştercă mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Chevaliers FC and the MICE F.C. players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 65 played minutes Chevaliers FC got a freekick which was hit by Denis Ştercă. In the 66th minute, Gábor Puskás ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Fabian Lucescu was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-0. Giovanni Parisis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fabian Lucescu having to interfere. Chevaliers FC's Fabian Lucescu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gábor Puskás in the 79th minute of play. Thodoris Georgakos hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. In the 83rd minute of the match Augustin Ţopescu shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but M. Dedy Giatrakis showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. With a little luck, MICE F.C.'s M. Dedy Giatrakis got control of the ball when Chris Chevalier tried to sneak it across the goal line. Fotis Patinios hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. MICE F.C. were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Chevaliers FC for a fine match.
