Spectators: 8029 (Terracing: 6023, Seating: 1846, VIP seats: 160) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Serafino Naldo made the kick off which started today's match. When Witomir Wejta fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bialski Bastion Legii's protests and gave Witomir Wejta a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Arrecifes's Bernardo Abad got a free kick in the 5th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tobiasz Dudkowski in the 9th minute of play forced Arrecifes's goalkeeper Romulo Deunoro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 11 minutes into the match, Bernard Pilarczyk had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Romulo Deunoro. Arrecifes's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bernard Pilarczyk was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 20 minutes of play, Arrecifes's Froilan Cutberto made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Stefan Makomaski was left in no man's land by his defense there! Froilan Cutberto blasted a shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Stefan Makomaski having to make a save. In the 26th minute, Witomir Wejta made a precise shot to the right of Romulo Deunoro. Arrecifes's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. Froilan Cutberto took the ball and in the 34 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Stefan Makomaski. Stefan Makomaski dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. Froilan Cutberto could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 40th minute of the match, but Stefan Makomaski made a huge save. Froilan Cutberto scored 3-2 in the 44th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Stefan Makomaski, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tobiasz Dudkowski was the one to do the kick off. Bialski Bastion Legii's Stefan Makomaski played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Froilan Cutberto in the 55th minute of play. 60 minutes into the match, Arrecifes's Froilan Cutberto sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Stefan Makomaski narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Patryk Bochinski got a throw-in 67 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Wlodzimierz Daszkowski. When Serafino Naldo fell near the penalty area in the 72nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Arrecifes's protests and gave Serafino Naldo a yellow card for diving instead. In the 72nd minute, Serafino Naldo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Arrecifes's Romulo Deunoro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tobiasz Dudkowski in the 73rd minute of play. When the match had gone on for 74 minutes, Bernard Pilarczyk took a quick shot and it went in 3-3 without a chance for Romulo Deunoro to make any attempt to save it. After 79 played minutes Arrecifes got a freekick which was hit by Lisandro Geofredo. Stefan Makomaski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Froilan Cutberto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The Bialski Bastion Legii players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Arrecifes from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
