Flavio Emeterio charged in rather forcefully in the 5th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Flavio Emeterio the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Stanislaw Mios, 7 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal.

In the 10th minute Walery Glogowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leonides Matteo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Froilan Urtungo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. PLUMIN's Jorge Cristofol managed to work through CWKS KĘDZIERZYN's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Jorge Cristofol dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. PLUMIN's Leonides Matteo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Korneliusz Kosiorek in the 39th minute of play. 44 minutes into the match, PLUMIN's Froilan Urtungo sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Barnaba Panikowski narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

After 89 minutes of play, PLUMIN's Froilan Urtungo made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

CWKS KĘDZIERZYN's supporters rose to their feet, but Zdzislaw Skonieczny was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
