Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 28660 at Teatrul Viselor today. Ragnar Irsjö was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Benedicto Ruiz and Enzo Mottarda. Bistrita started off with a 5-5-0 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Dezső - Vinterwald, van Brussel, Seimon, Poşchină, Hattu - Indewei, Munteanu, Stelea, Moldovan, Avădanei -.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Unitor. Starters: Campaner - Dobra, Gezgin, Collins - Tabaka, Meireles, Peischl, Okiljević, Williams - Boross, Kaim.

With 24 minutes played, D. van Brussel of Bistrita fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 25 minutes into the game, Bistrita had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to solid. 29 minutes into the game, G. Williams almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 33 minutes into the game, Bistrita seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. 38 minutes into the game, Bistrita seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Unitor, who controlled the ball 81 percent of the time.

The Bistrita players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. 46 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Unitor substitution. F. Zurita Muñoz came on for A. Tabaka. Ł. Kaim became the new Unitor captain. After 46 minutes, the Unitor coach had a quick word about the tactical set-up and decided to try another approach. After 62 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Bistrita found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to inadequate. After 63 minutes, Unitor's H. Gezgin made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. After 66 minutes, Unitor's H. Gezgin burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. Unitor enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 83 percent of possession.

Bistrita's top performer was clearly M. Dezső. D. Munteanu turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Unitor player was E. Peischl. F. Zurita Muñoz on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
