National Stadium
Spectators: 1028 (Terracing: 772, Seating: 236, VIP seats: 20)
Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Valērijs Bensons started the match with the kick off. 10 minutes in the game, the ball went up into the seats when U21 Latvia's Valērijs Bensons fired away a shot that was just a little bit too high. He walked away shaking his head. 13 minutes into the match, Igor Cotofanã had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Valdis Felbergs. U21 Latvia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Igor Cotofanã was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. U21 Moldova's Dorel Stângã played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Knuts Plekss in the 15th minute of play. In the 16th minute Emīls Umbrass shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dorel Stângã saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 18th minute Knuts Plekss shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dorel Stângã saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Dorel Stângã showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Valērijs Bensons in the 23rd minute of the match. Ion Creangă fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Valdis Felbergs having to interfere. U21 Latvia's Valdis Felbergs played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ion Creangă in the 30th minute of play. A collision led to U21 Latvia getting a freekick after 31 minutes play. Emīls Umbrass hit a great ball. Ion Creangă's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Valdis Felbergs read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 32nd minute of play. After a rather tough play, U21 Moldova's Ghitã Fratea got a free kick in the 36th minute. Hugo Sitnieks took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 37th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Dorel Stângã. U21 Moldova's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. After 42 played minutes U21 Moldova got a freekick which was hit by Ghitã Pârlea. 44 minutes into the match, U21 Moldova's goal looked a bit too open when Knuts Plekss came free, but Dorel Stângã reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ion Creangă was the one to do the kick off. Dorel Stângã showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Knuts Plekss in the 52nd minute of the match. In the 57th minute Knuts Plekss shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dorel Stângã saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Valdis Felbergs took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Igor Cotofanã, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Igor Cotofanã took the ball and in the 63 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Valdis Felbergs. Valdis Felbergs 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. U21 Moldova made a substitution. Teodor Vrânceanu replaced Ovidiu Buturugã. U21 Latvia's Pāvils Paskauskas was substituted for Silvis Biksītis. After having played for 67 minutes, Ruslan Cazacu managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. U21 Moldova's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ruslan Cazacu was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, U21 Latvia's Gints Lielgalvis got a free kick in the 74th minute. Vladimir Vrabie received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Valdis Felbergs tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 81st minute, Dorel Cotorobai ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Valdis Felbergs was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. Dorel Stângã showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rūsiņs Tračevskis, who was totally free with the ball in the 88th minute. Through an outstanding action, after 91 minutes, Dorel Stângã successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Knuts Pleksss short, quick shot in the 92ndth minute got Dorel Stângã to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Vents Ovdaks hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. U21 Latvia's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
