Spectators: 8418 (Terracing: 6314, Seating: 1936, VIP seats: 168) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Waclaw Majerowicz kicked off to start the match.

AllStars Budas's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The audience was convinced that Waclaw Majerowicz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Salvador Sordo was relentless in the 8th minute of the game.
