Stadion Riesnitz
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Roland Walczyk started the match with the kick off. After 9 minutes, Zbigniew Tarka mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Unia Ciechanowiec and the Riesnitz SSA players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Unia Ciechanowiec's Zbigniew Tarka got a free kick in the 9th minute. After some careless play in the Unia Ciechanowiec defense, Roland Walczyk kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Przemyslaw Turak. The Unia Ciechanowiec fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Przemyslaw Turak should have stopped the shot. If Fabian Zajonc had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Maciej Chuchro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Witomir Ankiewicz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

After a defensive mix-up in Unia Ciechanowiec's zone, Roland Walczyk stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Przemyslaw Turak came out of the goal and Roland Walczyk tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 35 minutes, Miroslaw Magdziarz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Unia Ciechanowiec and the Riesnitz SSA players grew even worse after the yellow card. After having played for 36 minutes, Pawel Mroczynski managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Riesnitz SSA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Pawel Mroczynski was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 38 played minutes Unia Ciechanowiec got a freekick which was hit by Witomir Ankiewicz. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fabian Zajonc in the 40th minute of play forced Unia Ciechanowiec's goalkeeper Przemyslaw Turak to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The referee showed Gwidon Misiewicz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 41st match minute, Unia Ciechanowiec was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Gwidon Misiewicz to maneuver through the defense.

Unia Ciechanowiec were furious when Witold Kochanowicz was red carded, 45 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests.

The throw-in from Zbigniew Tarka in the 74th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Riesnitz SSA's Marcin Scigan.
