Spectators: 7309 (Terracing: 5483, Seating: 1681, VIP seats: 145) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Konstanty Kopacz started the match with the kick off. The attack was good, but when Ludomir Biegun in the 6th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. When Zygmunt Sliwinski fell near the penalty area in the 9th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored AFC Meiwa's protests and gave Zygmunt Sliwinski a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to AFC Meiwa getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Zygmunt Sliwinski hit a great ball. If Pawel Solecki had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in AFC Meiwa reached it. In the 46th minute, Red Devils's Konstanty Kopacz ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Zachary Pusiak. Zachary Pusiak yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-2. After the first half AFC Meiwa were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.
