League Play-Off

Stadion Hensels
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Sylwester Wolczewski kicked off to start the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 2nd minute, Andrzej Pisarczyk managed to get in a good position for a shot. Popitten's supporters rose to their feet, but Andrzej Pisarczyk was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Artur Gabis breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The supporters of Popitten booed when Hensels SSA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zbigniew Zahemski didn't get a good kick on the ball. Andrzej Pisarczyk struck a weak shot in the 7th minute. Artur Gabis didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Popitten. Andrzej Pisarczyk recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Tolek Dzerwucki didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Sylwester Wolczewski went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. 16 minutes into the match, Hensels SSA's Sylwester Wolczewski sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tolek Dzerwucki narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 17th match minute, Popitten was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Beniamin Krzynowek to maneuver through the defense. Tolek Dzerwucki acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 18th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Igor Tylenda. Andrzej Pisarczyk received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Artur Gabis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The attack was good, but when Walery Zuraw in the 23rd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Dariusz Pankiewicz hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Hensels SSA's Sylwester Wolczewski slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Tolek Dzerwucki. That made the score 2-0 after 28 minutes of play. Zygmunt Kosiorek took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 33rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Tolek Dzerwucki. Popitten's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Damazy Budzyn came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Hensels 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 Damazy Budzyn couldn't finish the play. 42 minutes into the match, Hensels SSA's Dariusz Pankiewicz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tolek Dzerwucki narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Walery Zuraw took the ball and in the 43 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Artur Gabis. Artur Gabis dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Walery Zuraw to make the kick off. 59 minutes into the game, Damazy Budzyn cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1. Tolek Dzerwucki was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Tolek Dzerwucki came out of the goal in the 73rd minute to try and stop a shot by Hensels SSA's Damazy Budzyn. But to his dismay, Damazy Budzyn quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-1. Popitten's Walery Zuraw got a good chance for a goal in the 80th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Damazy Budzyn had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. For all the effort they put into the match, the Popitten players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Hensels SSA.
