Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Antoni Damazki kicked off to start the match.

Ruda's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Napoleon Wysocki 34 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-1. Tolek Zachemski blasted a shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Andrzej Borucki having to make a save. If Tolek Zachemski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Napoleon Wysocki to make the kick off. Ludomir Sienkiewicz kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. A collision led to Ruda getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Bartosz Barowicz hit a great ball. WALECZNI's Cyprian Cempa couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 59th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Ruda. Tolek Zachemski's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Andrzej Borucki read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 70th minute of play. After 71 minutes of play Ruda's Bartosz Barowicz was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. After 71 played minutes Ruda got a freekick which was hit by Bartosz Barowicz. Roland Chuchro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Ziemowit Paprotny fell near the penalty area in the 79th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ruda's protests and gave Ziemowit Paprotny a yellow card for diving instead. In the 80th minute, Ziemowit Paprotny hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mieszko Czerniak struck a weak shot in the 81st minute. Wiktor Wyrzykowski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for WALECZNI. After 83 minutes, Roch Dudkowski mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the WALECZNI and the Ruda players grew even worse after the yellow card. Roch Dudkowski hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. A hard shot by Lukasz Hodas from long distance, 84 minutes into the match, got Andrzej Borucki's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. In the 84th match minute, WALECZNI was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Roch Dudkowski to maneuver through the defense. Tolek Zachemski in the 86thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Andrzej Borucki, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. The corner went over the outstretched arms of WALECZNI's goalie and right to Roland Chuchro. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. WALECZNI's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Despite being the better team, Ruda failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
