The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. D. Pázmándi easily put the ball away to give the lead to Drujbistii. 1 - 0 Drujbistii's J. Spät had an excellent opportunity after 21 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! After 25 minutes, Drujbistii were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. A. Sambolec did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. J. Sotolongo wanted to play on, but the Drujbistii coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 44 minutes into the game by J. Martens. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Drujbistii, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Q. Villa Cano's speed was clear to see after 55 minutes, as he darted down the wing and released J. Västi who placed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 2 - 0. The Drujbistii players could smell victory in the air. C. Bardi wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for M. Bocsa after 78 minutes. D. Pázmándi was handed the Drujbistii captain's armband. Drujbistii increased the lead as E. Diaconu struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. After 81 minutes, G. van Vianen chose the right corner while taking his penalty, humiliating the home keeper, who dived in the wrong direction. The goal reduced the home lead to 3 - 1. A great save by keeper N. Sosa after 83 minutes kept the visitors in the game after Q. Villa Cano struck from the left with a real cannonball. D. Pázmándi could have increased the lead after 86 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Drujbistii had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Most important Drujbistii player was J. Västi. E. Diaconu turned in a dismal performance, however. I. Cayo performed admirably for corsarii. However, G. van Vianen made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
