League Play-Off

Matyty
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Norbert Zuraw started the match with the kick off. When Radomil Gozdowski fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Staszów SSA's protests and gave Radomil Gozdowski a yellow card for diving instead. 8 minutes into the match, Staszów SSA's goalkeeper Wiktor Cisek had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gilbert Pilitowski. 13 minutes into the game, Bartosz Ciupierdo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Matyty's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Staszów SSA the free kick. When Radomil Kowalski came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Staszów SSA 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 Radomil Kowalski couldn't finish the play. In the 16th minute, Radomil Kowalski made a precise shot to the right of Herbert Pankiewicz. Matyty's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Konrad Grajewski charged in rather forcefully in the 19th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Konrad Grajewski the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Konrad Grajewski hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match. A collision led to Staszów SSA getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Konrad Grajewski hit a great ball. Herbert Pankiewicz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Radomil Kowalski in the 26th minute of the match. 32 minutes into the match, Matyty's goal looked a bit too open when Sylwester Koprowski came free, but Herbert Pankiewicz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 35th minute, Sylwester Koprowski left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Staszów SSA fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. After 40 minutes, Norbert Zuraw mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Matyty and the Staszów SSA players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 40th match minute, Matyty was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Norbert Zuraw to maneuver through the defense. Staszów SSA's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Dariusz Turek in the 43rd minute. Staszów SSA's Dariusz Turek was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Herbert Pankiewicz in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Radomil Kowalski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Herbert Pankiewicz having to interfere. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Gilbert Pilitowski in the 56th minute of play forced Staszów SSA's goalkeeper Wiktor Cisek to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 57th minute, Radomil Kowalski reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Herbert Pankiewicz. The goal made the score 0-3. Sylwester Koprowski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Herbert Pankiewicz having to interfere. Bartosz Ciupierdo was shown his second yellow card after 74 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. If Radomil Kowalski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Sylwester Koprowski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Staszów SSA's supporters rose to their feet, but Sylwester Koprowski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Herbert Pankiewicz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Norbert Zuraw was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 88 minutes had been played. In the 88th minute, Norbert Zuraw hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Radomil Kowalski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Herbert Pankiewicz having to interfere.
