When Miromir Ruszkowski fell near the penalty area in the 47th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Diabolic Team's protests and gave Miromir Ruszkowski a yellow card for diving instead. In the 47th minute, Miromir Ruszkowski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 48 played minutes, Perico City Grup's Czeslaw Osowski shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Dominik Pozorski 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 Perico City Grup reached it. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit.
