The home team will be cursing M. Bernat for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 2 - 2 after 63 minutes. O.

Blaj gave the visitors a 2 - 3 lead after 74 minutes with a superb strike from the right. After the ball was lifted in from the left, J. Orozco León was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 75 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. R. Verdoorn of Furci was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Furci's D. Krämerwende was shown a yellow card after 80 minutes for slicing down an opponent.
