In the capital of Moldova, Chisinau, Igor Mosyichov's wards met with the tournament hosts. And they settled the question of victory already in the first half. They materialized their great class difference and field advantage into goals by Kametz, Klimchuk, Tsap, and Pershin's brace.

After halftime, Moldovans had a fantastic chance to score a prestige goal when they were playing with an extra man after Hibovsky's dismissal, but failed to capitalize on it. Moreover, later Malynovskyi and Rostkivsky increased the gap in the scoreboard. In summary—7:0, a confident start for our boys at the tournament. However, matches against competitors fighting for advancement to the semifinals are ahead.
