12000 spectators had found their way to Quercia Rosso, despite the heavy rain. Claus Magg was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dennis Herchen and Richard Cavillon. C.S.RpdD started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Căldăraru - Ţene, Purcărea, Liţă, Huştiu - Eremia, Duţă, Nuţu, Mihălcescu - Şolea, Stănculescu.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for wwwginzea. Starters: Komjáthy - Bratosin, Rădiţă, Florea, Pocora - Miluţ, Malanca, Pârneci, Iagăr - Baciu, Sevastre.

I. Purcărea gave C.S.RpdD the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 I. Sevastre spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. C.S.RpdD managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when G. Şolea cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. C. Mihălcescu was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. C.S.RpdD put in a good effort on the right, but A. Liţă saw his volley fly wide of the mark 36 minutes into the game. The home side's D. Eremia came close to extending the lead 37 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but A. Komjáthy managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. C.S.RpdD increased the lead as G. Nuţu struck to make the score 3 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. C.S.RpdD claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

After 64 minutes, C. Mihălcescu put C.S.RpdD ahead 4 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Things were deteriorating for the away team as C.S.RpdD scored another to make it 5 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for G. Nuţu after 72 minutes. Confident in their lead, C.S.RpdD's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. G. Bâtcă was called on to replace wwwginzea's M. Pârneci after 75 minutes following a nasty collision. I. Purcărea could have increased the lead after 83 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. A. Liţă of C.S.RpdD was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 87 minutes in, an amazing pass from the left side resulted in a goal for the visitors, as G. Bâtcă anticipated the through ball and scored, reducing the deficit to 5 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by C.S.RpdD, with 57 percent of the ball.

C.S.RpdD's top performer was clearly A. Liţă. On the other hand, V. Căldăraru's play was disheartening. G. Bâtcă performed admirably for wwwginzea. A. Komjáthy was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
