Spectators: 153 (Terracing: 115, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Roman Ledochowski made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind ZŁ Bielsko-Biała's goalkeeper Kajetan Koperski, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Gunners ARS's Karol Pietrowiak was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 10th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. If Karol Pietrowiak had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lucjan Psotka hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. With an all-out effort, Gunners ARS's Kajetan Koperski threw himself towards the right post 19 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Karol Pietrowiak, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Mikolaj Piszczor showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lucjan Psotka, who was totally free with the ball in the 25th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Karol Pietrowiak in the 26th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kajetan Koperski saved ZŁ Bielsko-Biała from getting behind. 29 minutes into the match, ZŁ Bielsko-Biała's goal looked a bit too open when Karol Pietrowiak came free, but Kajetan Koperski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Roman Ledochowski came up free with the goalie in the 35th minute, the ZŁ Bielsko-Biała fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Roman Ledochowski couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in ZŁ Bielsko-Biała's zone, Karol Pietrowiak stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Kajetan Koperski came out of the goal and Karol Pietrowiak tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. ZŁ Bielsko-Biała's Kajetan Koperski played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Karol Pietrowiak in the 43rd minute of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Karol Pietrowiak kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Kajetan Koperski. That made the score 2-0 in the 45 minute of play. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Karol Pietrowiak stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 58th minute Lucjan Psotka shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mikolaj Piszczor saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 61 minutes into the match, Gunners ARS's Karol Pietrowiak sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Kajetan Koperski narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 63 minutes into the match, Karol Pietrowiak notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of ZŁ Bielsko-Biała's Kajetan Koperski. Kajetan Koperski was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Karol Pietrowiak sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Kajetan Koperski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Karol Pietrowiak in the 79th minute of play. Gunners ARS's Karol Brudnicki got his second yellow card of the match in the 87th minute. The referee ordered Karol Brudnicki off the ground. Karol Brudnicki hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Mikolaj Piszczor made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Roman Ledochowski in the 96th minute of play. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Gunners ARS fans cheered their team off the field, for while ZŁ Bielsko-Biała had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
