Spectators: 7469 (Terracing: 5603, Seating: 1717, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Roland Lichniak started the match with the kick off. After some careless play in the Romanian Gods™ defense, Dobromir Orszak kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Francisc Trăilă. The Romanian Gods™ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Francisc Trăilă should have stopped the shot. Francisc Trăilă showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Edmund Scislowicz in the 9th minute of the match. Francisc Trăilă made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Roland Lichniak in the 13th minute of play. Leon Bury was out of position in the 15 minute of play, and Augustin Boșneag capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Augustin Boșneag really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. 18 minutes into the match, Roland Lichniak had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Francisc Trăilă. Romanian Gods™'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Roland Lichniak was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 23rd minute Dobromir Orszak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Francisc Trăilă saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Sabin Marian during the 29th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 30th minute of the match Remigiusz Kasprzykowski shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Francisc Trăilă showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball.

Juliusz Dziurowicz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 73rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 77th minute the ball was on its way in behind Romanian Gods™'s goalkeeper Francisc Trăilă, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Roland Lichniak scored 1-5 in the 81st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Francisc Trăilă, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 86th minute, Kyno Team's Lucjan Mielak seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Lucjan Mielak the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Kyno Team protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Lucjan Mielak had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After a rather tough play, Kyno Team's Lucjan Mielak got a free kick in the 86th minute. In the 90th minute, Irinel Poenaru left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

Edmund Duszenski in the 94thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Francisc Trăilă, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save.
