Spectators: 7578 (Terracing: 5684, Seating: 1743, VIP seats: 151) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Klement Parzysz took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Niebiański&Team's zone, Adolfo Ramone stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Leszek Daszkowski came out of the goal and Adolfo Ramone tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 6 minutes into the match, Niebiański&Team's goalkeeper Leszek Daszkowski had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tiburcio Karlo. Eugeniusz Wojtyna made in the 8th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Zbigniew Panikowski however managed to control. In the 10th minute of the match Agustin Osasun shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Leszek Daszkowski showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 14th minute, Tytus Kazimierz left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Niebiański&Team fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Gorgory's Melchor Chorache played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zbigniew Panikowski in the 17th minute of play. In the 18th match minute, Niebiański&Team was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Boleslaw Penczkowski to maneuver through the defense.

In the 26th match minute, Niebiański&Team was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Waldemar Imbor to maneuver through the defense. A nice corner shot did that Zbigniew Panikowski got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Melchor Chorache quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. In the 38th minute, Boleslaw Penczkowski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Niebiański&Team's defense didn't have a chance, in the 39th minute, when Tiburcio Karlo scored to the left of an out of position Leszek Daszkowski, making the score, 1-1. Basilio Dolfos hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tiburcio Karlo was the one to do the kick off. In the 54th minute Zbigniew Panikowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Melchor Chorache saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Adolfo Ramone sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Adolfo Ramone had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tiburcio Karlo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Leszek Daszkowski tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Adolfo Ramone scored 2-1 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Leszek Daszkowski, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Leszek Daszkowski showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Adolfo Ramone, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. When Eugeniusz Wojtyna fell near the penalty area in the 78th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Niebiański&Team's protests and gave Eugeniusz Wojtyna a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Niebiański&Team's Eugeniusz Wojtyna got a free kick in the 78th minute. Leszek Daszkowski showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tiburcio Karlo, who was totally free with the ball in the 83rd minute. 87 minutes into the match, Niebiański&Team's goal looked a bit too open when Eduardo Laurgain came free, but Leszek Daszkowski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 96th minute, Tytus Kazimierz reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Melchor Chorache. The goal made the score 2-2. Niebiański&Team were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
