59 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as I. Giuşcă finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After this, you could see that the players of hanymals were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Știinţa's O. Şesan got himself booked for a foul. After 71 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for P. Spedicato who increased hanymals's lead to 0 - 4. 78 minutes into the game, Ş. Păunescu had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came C. Căciuleanu. S. Ramli received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 79 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 5. The hanymals fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. With 80 minutes played, N. Zehenter of hanymals fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The heat made it a terrible day for A. Andrisano, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. hanymals enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

C. Stoian performed admirably for Știinţa. I. Mocioalcă on the other hand, had a terrible day. hanymals's top performer was clearly G. Şerbulea. P. Spedicato was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
