Spectators: 6010 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 10) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ryszard Lech took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Stasio Wyrzykowski fell near the penalty area in the 5th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

In the 9th minute, Ryszard Czysta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

After 13 played minutes, Rodenstein SSA's Kryspin Odachowski shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Juliusz Dula came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Rodenstein SSA reached it. After 15th play minutes Olgierd Nalaskowski shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Juliusz Dula and just under the crossbar into goal.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lucjan Szarmach to make the kick off.

After 66 minutes of play, Strachau SSA's Ryszard Lech made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Wojciech Zuraw was left in no man's land by his defense there! Olgierd Nalaskowski recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 77th minute.
