At the beginning of the game, Dinamo-BanuMihai appeared to have already taken this victory to the bank. Dinamo-BanuMihai saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Dinamo-BanuMihai's C. Ionescu managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 18 minutes. 0 - 1. The visitors' B. Ghiciu took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 26 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Dinamo-BanuMihai. Confident in their lead, Dinamo-BanuMihai's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The home crowd was not impressed when T. Moţ came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 29 minutes. Dinamo-BanuMihai were now up 0 - 3. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Dinamo-BanuMihai had most of the ball, with 79 percent of possession.

After 59 minutes, Dinamo-BanuMihai 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. Ionescu, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 4. M. Skenderpašić increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. T. Moţ of Dinamo-BanuMihai took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 77 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6. After 78 minutes, O. Găitan sent the corner kick right to L. Savici who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 6! After the ball was lifted in from the left, S. Georgescu was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 80 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. After 81 minutes Dinamo-BanuMihai's R. Ştefan limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. With 82 minutes gone, Dinamo-BanuMihai had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, C. Ionescu did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. Dinamo-BanuMihai claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 83 percent.

Braila's top performer was clearly L. Savici. A. Pastor on the other hand, had a terrible day. Dinamo-BanuMihai's best player was T. Moţ. On the other hand, M. Guevara's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 6.
