A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for U-20 Magyarország. They fielded: Molnár - Szakácsi, Fedor, Szemancsik, Oláh - Bánffy, Hajdu, Kruzsicz, Eszik, Rácz - Rostás.

U-20 Moldova decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. Lineup: Zhitskiy - Zgîrţă, Galagan, Lîsenco, Grîu - Cucu, Barbăroş, Pruteanu, Meşteşugaru, Chetraru - Anestiadi.

After 30 minutes U-20 Moldova tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, B. Barbăroş's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. The corner kick from V. Fedor was powerfully met by the head of K. Hajdu to make the score 1 - 0. V. Fedor increased U-20 Magyarország's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. The players of U-20 Magyarország now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. U-20 Moldova claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

J. Rácz 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. Z. Tollas was the replacement. 75 minutes in, U-20 Magyarország's B. Szakácsi received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by U-20 Magyarország, with 52 percent of the ball.

M. Szemancsik performed admirably for U-20 Magyarország. Z. Tollas turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important U-20 Moldova player was R. Zhitskiy. D. Lîsenco was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
