39189 punters turned up at Areni Club Stadium, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.

Starters: Mac Donald - Río, Fuglestad, Lastur - Maure, Kakoglou, Pasquino, Shtrauber, Lang - Chowdhury, Smirnov.

Baietii_luMitica had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Lineup: Cârmaci - Pino, Novičić, Mollind, Yilmaz, van Straaten - Zetchi, Alexe, Marta - Lapsiņš-Lapsa, Nanu.

The crowd groaned its disapproval when T. Kakoglou missed a free kick that would have given Suceava cl the lead after 2 minutes. M. Pasquino behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 7 minutes as he gave the ball away to L. Alexe. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. With 18 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as F. Maure flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. Cheers filled the stadium as F. Chowdhury broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Suceava cl. A great save by keeper A. Cârmaci after 26 minutes kept the visitors in the game after A. Lastur struck from the left with a real cannonball. Suceava cl solidified their lead at the 29 minute mark, as O. Smirnov dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 3 - 0. A. Zetchi of Baietii_luMitica received a yellow card after 34 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Suceava cl had most of the ball, with 84 percent of possession.

55 minutes into the game, Baietii_luMitica seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organisation. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Suceava cl scored another to make it 4 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for F. Chowdhury after 61 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Suceava cl's F. Chowdhury increasing the lead to 5 - 0. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for F. Chowdhury. The players of Suceava cl now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. With 78 minutes played, Suceava cl put themselves up 6 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to F. Chowdhury, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 82 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as R. Lang broke through, making the score 7 - 0 for Suceava cl. The score became 8 - 0 at 84 minutes into the game, when Suceava cl were given a penalty which T. Kakoglou blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! Suceava cl claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 88 percent.

The most dominating Suceava cl player was without a doubt O. Smirnov. G. Río on the other hand, had a terrible day. A. Cârmaci performed admirably for Baietii_luMitica. However, B. Marta made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 8 - 0.
