GDYNIA ARENA
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Leon Dziatkowski started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute, Bogdan Cholewa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, Haiti's Jean Marie Alcius got a free kick in the 20th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Janusz Niziolek managed to get in a good position for a shot. SMOKI's supporters rose to their feet, but Janusz Niziolek was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Noel Seide breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 28 minutes into the match, Bogdan Cholewa notched a goal, 4-0, to the right of Haiti's Noel Seide. Noel Seide was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz got free with Noel Seide in the 32nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With a little luck, Haiti's Noel Seide got control of the ball when Bogdan Cholewa tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 35th match minute, Haiti was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ernso Constant to maneuver through the defense. Leon Dziatkowski hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. The throw-in from Tymoteusz Marut in the 41st minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Haiti's Jean Marie Alcius. If Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Haiti defense, Janusz Niziolek kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Noel Seide. The Haiti fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Noel Seide should have stopped the shot. 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.

51 minutes into the match, Haiti's goal looked a bit too open when Tymoteusz Marut came free, but Noel Seide reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rodney Emmanuel was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 56 minutes into the match. After 55 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Haiti! Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! When the match clock showed 58 minutes, the score became 6-0 when Zdzislaw Smuskiewicz sped through Haiti's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Noel Seide. In the 61st minute Leon Dziatkowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noel Seide saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Radoslaw Fleszar got a throw-in 62 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Leon Dziatkowski. Janusz Niziolek fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Noel Seide having to interfere. 69 minutes into the game, Bogdan Cholewa cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 7-0. Noel Seide was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 72nd minute Bogdan Cholewa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noel Seide saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 73rd minute Leon Dziatkowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noel Seide saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Leon Dziatkowski in the 75th minute of play forced Haiti's goalkeeper Noel Seide to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Noel Seide showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Leon Dziatkowski, who was totally free with the ball in the 78th minute. The supporters of Haiti booed when SMOKI was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 82 match minutes in a wonderful position. Leon Dziatkowski didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 84th minute, Zenon Gibowski ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Noel Seide was frozen by the shot and now it was 8-0. After 89 minutes of play, SMOKI's Bogdan Cholewa made it 9-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Noel Seide was left in no man's land by his defense there! Noel Seide took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Janusz Niziolek, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Patryk Glozor made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jonathan Alphonse in the 94th minute of play. The throw-in from Radoslaw Fleszar in the 96th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Haiti's Saint Jean Pierre. In the 97th minute Leon Dziatkowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noel Seide saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. There was no doubt that SMOKI were the better team. SMOKI's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
