Bucuresti 2 - 0 H.C.Brasov (365268557)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 20000 to Barosanu. Fabrizio Camarda was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tuomas Henriksson and Teddy Shorter. Bucuresti decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Çelik - Shnayderman, Kotkas, Gulliksen - Camelo, Pereira, Bärenmeier, Gadkari, Miksza - Masiero, Quero.

H.C.Brasov had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Rízquez - Garcia Jr., Tortora, Bakos - Tepper, Neubauer, Jongepier, Schönbrodt, Grković - Uri, Hottinen.

H.C.Brasov mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. M. Shnayderman of Bucuresti seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by M. Gulliksen. H.C.Brasov's C. Jongepier placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but M. Uri couldn't finish. Bucuresti were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 33 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by M. Gulliksen. 2 - 0 for the home side. Halftime score was 2 - 0. Bucuresti had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

With 49 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, L. Neubauer needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. As usual, L. Tortora tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. After 70 minutes Bucuresti's M. Shnayderman limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bucuresti, with 58 percent of the ball.

Most important Bucuresti player was G. Gadkari. E. Miksza was a disappointment, however. The most dominating H.C.Brasov player was without a doubt D. Schönbrodt. Z. Garcia Jr. turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
