Spectators: 7559 (Terracing: 5670, Seating: 1738, VIP seats: 151) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Amado Maurin kicked off to start the match. Rigoberto Idacio hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. In the 7th minute Edmund Komornicki shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Pedro Dolcet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 9 played minutes Zielonka Gdansk got a freekick which was hit by Jakub Ankiewicz. Gerardo Bibiano took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 10th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Tolek Makarewicz. Zielonka Gdansk's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Tolek Makarewicz didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Amado Maurin went, in the 19th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 23rd minute, Jakub Ankiewicz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Tolek Makarewicz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Amado Maurin in the 29th minute of the match. After 30 played minutes Zielonka Gdansk got a freekick which was hit by Maciej Zdrojowy. An unexpectedly hard shot by Florencio Orlanda in the 31st minute of play forced Zielonka Gdansk's goalkeeper Tolek Makarewicz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 47 minutes, Rigoberto Idacio mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Loco De Remate and the Zielonka Gdansk players grew even worse after the yellow card. Mariusz Borowski might have been able to make a better finish in the 49th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Pedro Dolcet. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mariusz Borowski ran back to his position shaking his head.

The wind increased when Mariusz Borowski made the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Mariusz Borowski made a precise shot to the right of Pedro Dolcet. Loco De Remate's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. Jakub Ankiewicz hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. In the 60th minute of the match Rigoberto Idacio shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Tolek Makarewicz showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Tolek Makarewicz made a fantastic save in the 61st minute, when Amado Maurin sent off a good shot on target. Tolek Makarewicz was a little too slow when Alvaro Resto got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 63rd minute. The score was now 1-2. When Maciej Zdrojowy came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Zielonka Gdansk 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 Maciej Zdrojowy couldn't finish the play. Tolek Makarewicz was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Florencio Orlanda showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-3 in the 72 minute of play. Jose Lopez charged in rather forcefully in the 79th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jose Lopez the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 88 minutes of play, Zielonka Gdansk's Mariusz Borowski made it 3-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Pedro Dolcet was left in no man's land by his defense there! The supporters of Zielonka Gdansk booed when Loco De Remate was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 97 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alvaro Resto didn't get a good kick on the ball. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
