Spectators: 149 (Terracing: 112, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Akis Stafilas took the kick off in the first half of the match. MELATES F.C. were furious when Lakis Voulgarakis was red carded, 11 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. A collision led to MELATES F.C. getting a freekick after 12 minutes play. Lakis Voulgarakis hit a great ball. LKS Sieraków ŚL's Iwo Jazwiec got a good chance for a goal in the 13th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 15th minute, Ludomir Walec hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ludomir Walec's late challenge caught a MELATES F.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

That made the score 1-1 in the 27 minute of play. After a rather tough play, LKS Sieraków ŚL's Dariusz Juszkowski got a free kick in the 35th minute. Ludomir Walec hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. When Kleanthis Sapounelis came up free with the goalie in the 45th minute, the MELATES F.C. 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 Kleanthis Sapounelis couldn't finish the play. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The wind increased when Remigiusz Bejrut made the kick off in the second half. If Dorotheos Delioridis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dorotheos Delioridis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 63rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 68 minutes into the match, MELATES F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Remigiusz Bejrut came free, but Sofoklis Patsavouras reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Christos Papakostopoulos managed to get in a good position for a shot. MELATES F.C.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Christos Papakostopoulos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Borys Plucinik breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. LKS Sieraków ŚL's Ludomir Walec got his second yellow card of the match in the 75th minute.

After some careless play in the LKS Sieraków ŚL defense, Christos Papakostopoulos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Borys Plucinik. The LKS Sieraków ŚL fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Borys Plucinik should have stopped the shot. The supporters of MELATES F.C. booed when LKS Sieraków ŚL was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 85 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boleslaw Rudy didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Boleslaw Rudy in the 90th minute a chance for a shot on goal.
