Spectators: 7448 (Terracing: 5587, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cesinha Aguiar started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute, Norbert Fikus hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alexsandro Netto was a little too slow when Szczepan Sikola got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 8th minute. The score was now 1-0.

Norbert Fikus kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. After 22 played minutes, Samurai Champions FC's Kiko Antunes shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bogdan Wolniewicz 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 Samurai Champions FC reached it. Pawel Giertych might have been able to make a better finish in the 23rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Alexsandro Netto. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Pawel Giertych ran back to his position shaking his head. 27 minutes had been played when some careless play by FC Czermno's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.

Ryszard Dabrowski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alexsandro Netto having to interfere. If Pawel Giertych had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

In the 52nd minute, Leopoldo Velasco hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

After a defensive mix-up in Samurai Champions FC's zone, Fabian Teofila stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

They thanked the players of Samurai Champions FC for a fine match.
