Spectators: 4806 (Terracing: 3605, Seating: 1105, VIP seats: 96) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Pedro Mata made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hélio Paião in the 3rd minute of play forced PACYN's goalkeeper Zygmunt Ziemba to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 5th minute, Joaquim Nogueira managed to get in a good position for a shot. Vitória StrikerS™'s supporters rose to their feet, but Joaquim Nogueira was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Zygmunt Ziemba breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After some careless play in the PACYN defense, Pedro Mata kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Zygmunt Ziemba. The PACYN fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Zygmunt Ziemba should have stopped the shot. Zygmunt Ziemba showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pedro Mata, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Dawid Skrzypiec kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Júlio Lemos. That made the score 1-1 in the 12 minute of play. Joaquim Nogueira received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 15th minute. Zygmunt Ziemba tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 23 minutes into the match, Vitória StrikerS™'s goal looked a bit too open when Dawid Skrzypiec came free, but Júlio Lemos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpected shot in the 29th minute by Dawid Skrzypiec got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After 35 minutes of play, Vitória StrikerS™'s Hélio Paião made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Zygmunt Ziemba was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Pedro Mata came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Vitória StrikerS™ 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 Pedro Mata couldn't finish the play. When the match had gone on for 41 minutes, Pedro Mata put it in 1-3 from a short distance just to the right of Zygmunt Ziemba. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Dawid Skrzypiec struck a weak shot in the 52nd minute. Júlio Lemos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PACYN. A collision led to PACYN getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Fabian Kornecki hit a great ball. Joaquim Nogueira might have been able to make a better finish in the 62nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Zygmunt Ziemba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Joaquim Nogueira ran back to his position shaking his head. Borys Jaks charged in rather forcefully in the 65th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Borys Jaks the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In a very dangerous position, a player in PACYN fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 65th minute. Penalty! When the match had been going on for 67 minutes, Vitória StrikerS™'s Joaquim Nogueira got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Zygmunt Ziemba. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Pedro Mata in the 73rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Zygmunt Ziemba prevented the ball from getting in the gole. If Joaquim Nogueira had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Leszek Chojnacki sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
