A scorching day at Ghencea, where 28681 spectators were in place for today's match. Eugenio Stumpo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gian Luigi Nina and Edvards Vurčs. Steaua started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. Starters: Granbom - Attico, Schilderman, Zehetmeier, Pfeiffer, Cvijanović - Steinke, Doerner-Turk, Lakos - Weisskopf, Paraschiv.

AC decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Grodås - 角田 (Tsunoda), El-Rafiq, 宝权 (Baoquan) - Voicu, Badji, Zacharie, Elfmeter, Pozzoli - Katzarov, Echazuría.

AC seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Steaua fans held their breath as M. Attico scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! E. Voicu enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. Steaua were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from M. Attico went into the arms of the keeper. 1 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by AC, with 52 percent of the ball.

47 minutes into the game, M. Attico had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came G. Élice. Coming from the right, M. Doerner-Turk almost managed to score another goal for Steaua, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. AC's J. Echazuría left the field after 54 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was G. Tuozzi. AC's M. Zacharie soared above the crowd, but couldn't knock the corner home 78 minutes into the match. Steaua were great at switching from defence to attack, and after 81 minutes, R. Weisskopf swept through the middle on a counterattack, making the score 2 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Steaua were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. AC had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

Steaua's best player was R. Weisskopf. G. Zehetmeier turned in a dismal performance, however. M. Zacharie performed admirably for AC. On the other hand, G. Tuozzi's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 0.
