Roller saw most attack opportunities on the wings. It was obvious that Roller had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. The referee showed giulestina's A. Pânzariu the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Roller mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 33 minutes, but V. Sokalskiy was unable to convert from short range. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. giulestina claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The guests almost went up by a goal after 53 minutes when G. Chajaj came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. Given a free kick close to the byline, giulestina tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let A. Pânzariu slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1 - 0, 70 minutes into the game. The home side's M. Diudea came close to extending the lead 74 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but S. Menchell managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. After 78 minutes, Roller switched R. Strauss with J. Machowski, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. U. Itshaki of Roller was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. giulestina enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The most dominating giulestina player was without a doubt A. Eiger. On the other hand, C. Ioan's play was disheartening. A. Yacobson performed admirably for Roller. G. Chajaj turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
