Spectators: 8030 (Terracing: 6024, Seating: 1846, VIP seats: 160) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Guto Tasso took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sylwester Zapolski got free with Júlio Linares in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 8th minute Zula Sidorowicz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Júlio Linares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jacob Preuss struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Cyryl Gotfryd didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Xiboquinha FC. Guto Tasso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cyryl Gotfryd didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jacob Preuss went, in the 22nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 34th minute, Sylwester Zapolski left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The MKS Mazur Ełk fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. Cyryl Gotfryd showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jacob Preuss, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. In the 41st minute, Ravi Ninho got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 44th minute Guto Tasso shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cyryl Gotfryd saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cleiton Cordeiro hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sylwester Zapolski to make the kick off. Zula Sidorowicz charged in rather forcefully in the 51st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Zula Sidorowicz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, MKS Mazur Ełk's Zula Sidorowicz got a free kick in the 51st minute. If Roch Kapelski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. MKS Mazur Ełk's Marcin Zacharzewski was substituted for Roch Kapelski. Xiboquinha FC's Ravi Ninho quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Tobiasz Nuszkowski, made in the 64th minute of the game. Xiboquinha FC's Cleiton Cordeiro managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Edgar Solarek in the 67 minute of the game. 68 minutes into the match, MKS Mazur Ełk's goal looked a bit too open when Guto Tasso came free, but Cyryl Gotfryd reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to MKS Mazur Ełk getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Edgar Solarek hit a great ball. Cyryl Gotfryd came out of the goal in the 75th minute to try and stop a shot by Xiboquinha FC's Guto Tasso. But to his dismay, Guto Tasso quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Jacob Preuss kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. After some careless play in the MKS Mazur Ełk defense, Ravi Ninho kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Cyryl Gotfryd. The MKS Mazur Ełk fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Cyryl Gotfryd should have stopped the shot. After 86 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Xiboquinha FC! Júlio Linares had in the 88thth minute some difficulties stopping Stasio Majkowski's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 88th minute, Stasio Majkowski made a precise shot to the right of Júlio Linares. Xiboquinha FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3.
