It was obvious that KVN2 were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. KVN2 took the lead 14 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as C. Mortensen elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. At this time in the match, KVN2 were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. The referee showed KVN2's S. Mrozicki the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Cirpesti, as V. Domnişor left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. P. Olaru took his place on the field. Cheers filled the stadium as N. Nazarov broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to KVN2. KVN2 pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in KVN2's J. Lalinde increasing the lead to 3 - 0. D. Ţăruş of Cirpesti was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Halftime score was 3 - 0. KVN2 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 87 percent of possession.

The coach of KVN2 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, B. Güngör came on for L. Botnaru. W. von Waldthausen left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. G. Tîltu was the replacement. The KVN2 players could smell victory in the air. S. Mrozicki wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for K. Sætre after 54 minutes. Several players were looking tired, especially D. Ţăruş who gifted the opposition a goal as he lost the ball to a still energetic G. Tîltu of KVN2 after 78 minutes. 4 - 0 A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of KVN2 to 5 - 0 as J. Miravet finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. The pressing tactics used by KVN2 were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. KVN2 put in a good effort on the right, but C. Diordiţă saw his volley fly wide of the mark 85 minutes into the game. After 87 minutes, KVN2 sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached C. Diordiţă, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 6 - 0. By now, the players in KVN2 felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. B. Güngör squirmed through their central defence after 88 minutes, increasing the lead to 7 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to KVN2, who controlled the ball 91 percent of the time.

KVN2's top performer was clearly C. Diordiţă. However, A. Shmatovalenko made a disastrous appearance. Cirpesti's best player was T. Cepraga. I. Buş turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 0.
