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. Kajetan Lewkowicz started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Daniel Niculae in the 3rd minute of play forced ZABRZE's goalkeeper Remigiusz Brytan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Daniel Niculae sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Remigiusz Brytan made a fantastic save in the 13th minute, when Zachary Bendyk sent off a good shot on target. Zachary Bendyk could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 15th minute of the match, but Remigiusz Brytan made a huge save. 16 minutes into the match, ZABRZE's goal looked a bit too open when Daniel Niculae came free, but Remigiusz Brytan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Zachary Bendyk managed to get in a good position for a shot. UNIA TARNÓW's supporters rose to their feet, but Zachary Bendyk was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Remigiusz Brytan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a defensive mix-up in ZABRZE's zone, Daniel Niculae stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Remigiusz Brytan came out of the goal and Daniel Niculae tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Zachary Bendyk's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Remigiusz Brytan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 21st minute of play. Zachary Bendyk was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 26th minute. UNIA TARNÓW's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After 27 played minutes ZABRZE got a freekick which was hit by Ulryk Mazierz. Daniel Niculae recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Daniel Niculae was extremely unlucky when he, in the 36th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. ZABRZE's Remigiusz Brytan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 38th minute of the match, managed to save ZABRZE from getting a goal against them. Filip Dziedziak made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kajetan Lewkowicz in the 40th minute of play. Remigiusz Brytan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Daniel Niculae, who was totally free with the ball in the 41st minute.

It was a penalty for UNIA TARNÓW! In the 46th minute, Stasio Karaszkiewicz made a precise shot to the right of Filip Dziedziak. UNIA TARNÓW's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

After 62 minutes of play, UNIA TARNÓW's Aleksander Gondela made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Remigiusz Brytan was left in no man's land by his defense there! Aleksander Gondela charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Aleksander Gondela the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After having played for 68 minutes, Zachary Bendyk managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

But to his dismay, Aleksander Gondela quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. When Radowit Barys fell near the penalty area in the 77th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ZABRZE's protests and gave Radowit Barys a yellow card for diving instead. UNIA TARNÓW's Filip Dziedziak played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kajetan Lewkowicz in the 84th minute of play. After 86 played minutes, UNIA TARNÓW's Zbyszko Tepper shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Remigiusz Brytan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in UNIA TARNÓW reached it. If Zachary Bendyk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The long shot by Stasio Karaszkiewicz in the 95th minute really tested Filip Dziedziak's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. ZABRZE's Kajetan Lewkowicz got a good chance for a goal in the 96th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
