Spectators: 7468 (Terracing: 5602, Seating: 1717, VIP seats: 149) After a defensive mix-up in GOD OF WAR's zone, Walery Cempa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Panos Karnezis came out of the goal and Walery Cempa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Panos Karnezis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Walery Cempa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 10 minutes, Makis Efthimiadis mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the GOD OF WAR and the Expedition Lubin players grew even worse after the yellow card. Makis Efthimiadis kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. Filip Banan kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. 16 minutes into the match, Anastasios Karidis sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Boruc Zdrojowy threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Anastasios Karidis this time. During the 22nd minute of the match Makis Efthimiadis completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Makis Efthimiadis a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. After 23 played minutes GOD OF WAR got a freekick which was hit by Makis Efthimiadis. 25 minutes into the match, GOD OF WAR's Kostas Tassakos sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Boruc Zdrojowy narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 27th minute Slawomir Trojanowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Panos Karnezis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to GOD OF WAR getting a freekick after 28 minutes play. Panos Tsiabras hit a great ball. Grzegorz Raschke scored 0-1 in the 29th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Panos Karnezis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Alketas Vertsotis struck a weak shot in the 39th minute. Boruc Zdrojowy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for GOD OF WAR. If Slawomir Trojanowski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Alketas Vertsotis to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kostas Tassakos in the 54th minute of play forced Expedition Lubin's goalkeeper Boruc Zdrojowy to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 75 minutes into the game, Grzegorz Raschke was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Expedition Lubin's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave GOD OF WAR the free kick. After a rather tough play, Expedition Lubin's Grzegorz Raschke got a free kick in the 75th minute. In the 79th match minute, GOD OF WAR was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Panos Tsiabras to maneuver through the defense. With 92 minutes on the clock, Anthimos Farmakatos commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. Anthimos Farmakatos kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. 94 minutes into the match, GOD OF WAR's goal looked a bit too open when Stanislaw Rosiewicz came free, but Panos Karnezis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Expedition Lubin walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
