Csikszereda appeared to have taken the lead when Lima scored in the 22nd minute, but VAR cancelled the effort. Lima was replaced by Adam Czekus at half-time, and Petrolul struck immediately after the restart: Martins put the hosts ahead at 46'10, assisted by Teixeira.
The visitors made changes around 65', and Alex Szabo was booked at 67'53. Petrolul doubled the margin moments later as Papp finished Bran's delivery at 68'29. Both sides made further substitutions in the closing stages, but the hosts protected their advantage through full-time.
The main highlights came after the interval, following a first half that ended level. The final stats were simple: two goals for Petrolul and none for Csikszereda. In summary, the hosts turned their post-break chances into goals and held on to secure the result.
