Zdzislaw Biraga could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 61st minute of the match, but Xano Menendez made a huge save. If Prosper Vandamme had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 1909 Tarnovia's Karol Pisarcik was substituted for Jerzy Grocholski. The audience was convinced that Prosper Vandamme's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Xano Menendez was relentless in the 67th minute of the game. 69 minutes into the match, Πυργετός Fc's goal looked a bit too open when Zenon Hetman came free, but Xano Menendez reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aniol Peña in the 78th minute of play forced 1909 Tarnovia's goalkeeper Maksymilian Prusinowski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With an all-out effort, 1909 Tarnovia's Xano Menendez threw himself towards the right post 84 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Zenon Hetman, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.
