As it was expected, CFR Cluj didn't have an easy match in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The start of the game gave hope to the guests, who scored pretty quickly through Dani, having then a cancelled goal too. FK Sarajevo didn't give up and have confirmed the reputation of the team that scores to the final of the match. 1-1 at Sarajevo and decisive game will be played one week later, at Cluj. Antonio Conceiçao sent two strikers on the field this time, Yssouf Kone and Nei, and the strategy was inspired in the first part of first half. Kone caused problems to the guests even from second minute, when his shot from the middle of the box was rejected by goalkeeper. Romanians started to control the game, pushing the opponents in their half of the field. The result of CFR's domination was seen in 19th minute, when Dani headed for 0-1, from 6 meters, after a cross from Culio from right side. FK Sarajevo had the first important opportunity in 23rd minute, but still the players of Conceiçao were those who scored. Kone managed to score a spectacular goal, from "semi-bicycle", but the goal was cancelled inexplicable, for a supposed fault in attack. The guests have suddenly woken up and became more courageous, and in 32nd minute only the bar saved the goalkeeper of CFR, Nuno Claro. To the final of first half the hosts were more dangerous, but CFR started the break with advantage of one goal. Second half was with less goal opportunities, the two teams trying to surprise each other. The only notable moment of CFR was "the header" of Cadu from 63rd minute, which passed beside the post. The guests managed to level the score in 77th minute, when Hadzic received a good pass and scored under Nuno Claro, even Alcantara was next to him. Conceiçao tried a last offensive solution, sending Traore in the place of Nei, but the player from Ivory Coast couldn't bring the victory for his team as he did in the last match from championship.
Antonio Conceicao, coach of CFR: "I am happy with this result, but I am not pleased by the whole game of my team. However, it was a difficult match in front of a team, as I anticipated, very well physically prepared and aggressive. We had only 30 good minutes, but the team fell psychological after that cancelled goal. We have big chances to qualify because we scored away".
