Spectators: 457 (Terracing: 343, Seating: 105, VIP seats: 9) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Harri Kaine made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Harri Kaine managed to get in a good position for a shot. JUNICO Ełk's supporters rose to their feet, but Harri Kaine was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nechifor Zbuchea breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience thought a goal was coming when Dragoş Potopea got free with Konstanty Kilarski in the 6th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Cătălin Geangu kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. After having played for 8 minutes, Ksawery Pluciennik managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. JUNICO Ełk's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ksawery Pluciennik was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Harri Kaine had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dinu Enache made in the 13th minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by JUNICO Ełk's Zachariasz Damaski. In the 15th minute Radomir Zieba shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nechifor Zbuchea saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 17 minutes into the match, Black Diamond's goal looked a bit too open when Harri Kaine came free, but Nechifor Zbuchea reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Konstanty Kilarski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pompiliu Moromete, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Pompiliu Moromete kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. Harri Kaine received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Nechifor Zbuchea tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Harri Kaine struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. Nechifor Zbuchea didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for JUNICO Ełk. Black Diamond's Nechifor Zbuchea played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Harri Kaine in the 32nd minute of play. 37 minutes into the match, Harri Kaine had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Nechifor Zbuchea. Black Diamond's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Harri Kaine was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 41 minutes, Dragoş Potopea mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Black Diamond and the JUNICO Ełk players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 41 played minutes Black Diamond got a freekick which was hit by Dragoş Potopea. Harri Kaine might have been able to make a better finish in the 42nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nechifor Zbuchea. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Harri Kaine ran back to his position shaking his head. Nechifor Zbuchea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Harri Kaine, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Vladimiro Theobald received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Nechifor Zbuchea tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 58 minutes into the game, Harri Kaine recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Nechifor Zbuchea. Harri Kaine showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-2. In the 61st minute, JUNICO Ełk's Harri Kaine ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Nechifor Zbuchea. Nechifor Zbuchea yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 0-3. JUNICO Ełk's Zachariasz Damaski quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Dinu Enache, made in the 64th minute of the game. Harri Kaine in the 65thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Nechifor Zbuchea, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Nechifor Zbuchea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Harri Kaine, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. JUNICO Ełk made a substitution. 沈振枫 replaced Ksawery Pluciennik.

After 75 minutes of play, Black Diamond's Cătălin Geangu made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Konstanty Kilarski was left in no man's land by his defense there! Black Diamond's Nechifor Zbuchea proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 78th minute of the match, managed to save Black Diamond from getting a goal against them. JUNICO Ełk's attentive Vladimiro Theobald managed to snatch the ball when Dinu Enache made a throw-in in the 80th minute of the game. Nechifor Zbuchea showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rikard Træden in the 80th minute of the match. 82 minutes into the game, Cătălin Geangu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Konstanty Kilarski was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cătălin Geangu in the 86th minute of play forced JUNICO Ełk's goalkeeper Konstanty Kilarski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 88th minute Black Diamond were awarded a corner. Joel Eguzki went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led Black Diamond's Cătălin Geangu to fire away a dangerous shot which Konstanty Kilarski despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Rikard Træden's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Nechifor Zbuchea read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 92nd minute of play. Black Diamond's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Rikard Træden 94 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-4.

Chants of JUNICO Ełk echoed around the stadium as the match drew to a close. Supporters and players were both delighted with the win, as Black Diamond had held the ball for most of the match.
