Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Antal Valentin took the kick off in the first half of the match. Fodor Daniel was out of position in the 6 minute of play, and Jacek Limanowski capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Jacek Limanowski really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0.
