Kronowo
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Janusz Oliszewski started the match with the kick off. In the 2nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Kronowo's goalkeeper Dobromir Chuchro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Dobromir Chuchro made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Stanislaw Budacz in the 7th minute of play. 11 minutes into the match, Kronowo's goal looked a bit too open when Julian Pacholewski came free, but Dobromir Chuchro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 0-1 became the score in the 12th minute when Stanislaw Budacz elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 17th minute, Marek Zapolski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Stanislaw Budacz took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dobromir Chuchro.

Julian Pacholewski spun around in front of the goal 27 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Kronowo's goal. Grodowice SSA's Julian Pacholewski got a good chance for a goal in the 28th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Dobromir Chuchro prevented the ball from getting in the gole. The Kronowo players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half.

Stanislaw Budacz ran back to his position shaking his head. Kacper Cytrynski's late challenge caught a Kronowo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kacper Cytrynski helped the player get up and apologised. In the 62nd minute, Kacper Cytrynski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 76th minute Stanislaw Budacz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dobromir Chuchro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 77th minute, Julian Pacholewski managed to get in a good position for a shot.
