10 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for -steaua- was F. van den Ham. With 23 minutes played, -steaua-'s G. Saccu almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. I. Andreev caused mayhem in his own defensive line with some mad dribbles within his own penalty zone, but -steaua-'s M. Oliveira's shot went just wide. With 38 minutes played, G. Saccu of -steaua- fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. An equalising goal seemed certain after 39 minutes when A. Remue attacked down the left wing, but H. Pignataro just managed to make a save to keep the ball out of the net. -steaua-'s J. Fernández Peñaranda got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 1 - 0. .GREEN had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

-steaua- mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 54 minutes, but O. Risling was unable to convert from short range. With 62 minutes played, M. Challandes came in from the right and could have evened the score, but the defenders successfully repelled the attack by .GREEN. .GREEN enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

-steaua-'s best player was F. van den Ham. M. Oliveira turned in a dismal performance, however. .GREEN's top performer was clearly J. Holmqvist. On the other hand, I. Andreev's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
