Due to an all-day shower, 13772 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at MotorSport Arena. Robert Eriksson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fergus Melhuish and Rayum Polderman. A 5-2-3 alignment was the formation of choice for MotorSport. The following players had been chosen: Belei - Cola, Kamoltip, Luisi, van Ekeris, Hafele - Druzhkov, Fiandino - Hielckert, Cordoş, Ştefănescu.

U-Cluj decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Oláh - Stecki, Celadin, Hobson - Harangi, Zaharia, Berggreen, Holešinský, Mălan - Irimie, Jalbă.

MotorSport clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. I. Hobson came close to putting the visiting team one up 12 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but C. Belei managed to tip the ball to a corner. U-Cluj had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 25 minutes in when M. Jalbă came up alone against C. Belei who managed a block. MotorSport's counterattack was impressive and was only stopped by a shocking foul. Somehow, the referee's cards remained in his pocket - a terrible decision! P. Hafele's resulting free kick was easily saved by the keeper. U-Cluj's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but L. Celadin struck it home without a second thought. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, M. Jalbă would have put U-Cluj up another goal 40 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. After 41 minutes, the defensive line of MotorSport created a counterattack through the middle that gave V. Ştefănescu a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by U-Cluj, with 63 percent of the ball.

P. Cordoş slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. 59 minutes into the game, U-Cluj worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. A drive down the left side allowed A. Mălan to get in close and score another goal for U-Cluj after 74 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After 78 minutes MotorSport tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, E. Fiandino's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. 79 minutes into the game a free kick by L. Celadin found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making U-Cluj's lead 0 - 3. U-Cluj had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

W. Kamoltip performed admirably for MotorSport. However, C. Belei made a disastrous appearance. U-Cluj's best player was B. Oláh. B. Harangi was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
