In a tightly contested match, Universitatea Craiova edged out AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc with a 2-1 victory. AFK Csikszereda began the game with a dream start, scoring early in the third minute. However, the momentum quickly shifted as Universitatea Craiova equalized within ten minutes, showcasing their resilience and ability to respond under pressure. Despite the fervent efforts of AFK Csikszereda, they were unable to capitalize on their attacking opportunities, highlighted by their superior number of corner kicks (8 compared to Craiova's 4).

The match saw a significant amount of physical play, particularly from the home team, who accumulated 13 fouls and four yellow cards, reflecting a somewhat undisciplined approach. This aggressive style, while disrupting Craiova's rhythm, led to unnecessary stoppages and possibly inhibited their own flow and cohesiveness. On the other hand, Craiova’s ability to maintain composure under pressure was evidenced by their fewer fouls (10) and yellow cards (2), suggesting they were slightly more controlled in their aggression.

Craiova's triumph was largely due to their effective teamwork and tactical flexibility displayed throughout the match. They managed to pull ahead in the second half with a goal in the 69th minute and then defended strategically to preserve their lead. This adaptability and efficient use of their goal-scoring opportunities highlighted their overall superiority in match management. AFK Csikszereda's inability to break down Craiova's defense, despite frequent ventures into the attacking third marked by 8 corners, underscored their struggles with final-third effectiveness and a lack of finishing precision.
