Supported by the fans in the South Lawn, the white-violets failed to break the endless series of winless games, but left Slatina with a hard-earned point.

In the first half, the hosts had the first major chance, through Trașcu (min. 10), but then the Poles replied with chances from Bakoș (min. 33) and Ignea (min. 44).

In the second half, there were even fewer important chances. Only the shots of (the same) Trașcu (sent wide in the 50th minute) and the newcomer Toma (in the 87th minute) are worth noting.
