League Play-Off

Stadion Kroczew
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Leon Ligas kicked off to start the match. Julian Kondysar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maciej Bartelak having to interfere. Napoleon Buczko hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. Emil Brak might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Maciej Bartelak. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Emil Brak ran back to his position shaking his head. Julian Kondysar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Emil Brak received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Maciej Bartelak came out and tried to block the shot, but Emil Brak slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 19th minute. After some careless play in the Kroczew defense, Leon Ligas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Hugon Nocny. The Kroczew fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Hugon Nocny should have stopped the shot. In the 31st minute, Witalis Burufski ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Hugon Nocny was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. After a defensive mix-up in Travian FC's zone, Julian Kondysar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Maciej Bartelak came out of the goal and Julian Kondysar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, Julian Kondysar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kroczew's supporters rose to their feet, but Julian Kondysar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Maciej Bartelak breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 47th minute Emil Brak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maciej Bartelak saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Emil Brak made a kick off. 53 minutes had been played when some careless play by Travian FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Olaf Andrysiak was slow to take the kick. During this time Kroczew's players had a chance to rest. Julian Kondysar charged in rather forcefully in the 56th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Julian Kondysar the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Julian Kondysar hit a great freekick 57 minutes into the match. Witalis Burufski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Maciej Bartelak didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Emil Brak went, in the 62nd minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. The supporters of Kroczew booed when Travian FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Krzysztof Praski didn't get a good kick on the ball. Leon Ligas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Emil Brak received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Maciej Bartelak tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 89th minute, Travian FC's Leon Ligas ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Hugon Nocny. Hugon Nocny yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 3-3. Kroczew were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
