Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Kapiton Bozhev took the kick off in the first half of the match. Stepan Skobelev recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Kapiton Bozhev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Kapiton Bozhev had several of the Padiham's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 9 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Vladimir Lyadov as he didn't even see the shot coming. When Lutterworth United's Kapiton Bozhev in the 18th minute got a chance for a shot 18th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Padiham's goalie prevented a goal. Semen Nevedomskiy's late challenge caught a Padiham's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Semen Nevedomskiy helped the player get up and apologised. 26 minutes into the match, Lutterworth United's goal looked a bit too open when Stepan Skobelev came free, but Rudolf Yakovenko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

A hard shot 36 in the game by Nikolay Fundukleev from a close distance when the talented Vladimir Lyadov managed to make a qualified save. Padiham's players were relieved. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Kapiton Bozhev in the 39th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vladimir Lyadov saved Padiham from getting behind. Timofey Susloparov charged in rather forcefully in the 40th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Timofey Susloparov the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Nikolay Fundukleev's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Vladimir Lyadov read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 42nd minute of play. Timofey Susloparov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rudolf Yakovenko having to interfere.

Semen Nevedomskiy took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 76th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Vladimir Lyadov. Padiham's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. A collision led to Padiham getting a freekick after 77 minutes play. Ippolit Haliluev hit a great ball. Lutterworth United's Nikolay Fundukleev managed to work through Padiham's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Nikolay Fundukleev dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Vladimir Lyadov made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nikolay Fundukleev in the 80th minute of play. Filipp Baikov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rudolf Yakovenko having to interfere.
