Luca Albulescu scored 1-0 in the 40th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Konrad Marut, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Feliks Orszak stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. LIVIUS UNITED MLS's Dragoş Braniște played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rafal Pieprz in the 51st minute of play.

Valeriu Aanuţei took the ball and in the 61 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Konrad Marut.

Dragoş Braniște was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Valeriu Aanuţei sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 75 minutes into the match, Luca Albulescu had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Konrad Marut.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Luca Albulescu in the 81st minute of play forced WKS Śląsk Wrocław's goalkeeper Konrad Marut to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. LIVIUS UNITED MLS's Luca Albulescu pulled a muscle in his back after 83 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Zdzislaw Skaradoski charged in rather forcefully in the 83rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Zdzislaw Skaradoski the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. LIVIUS UNITED MLS's Ionică Verzea was substituted for Luca Albulescu. In the 85th minute, Ionică Verzea 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. Ionică Rădulescu's late challenge caught a WKS Śląsk Wrocław's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ionică Rădulescu helped the player get up and apologised. In the 86th minute, Ionică Rădulescu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 87 minutes, Szczepan Wiatrak managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. WKS Śląsk Wrocław's supporters crossed their fingers, but Szczepan Wiatrak was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 92nd minute Feliks Orszak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dragoş Braniște saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Szczepan Wiatrak got free with Dragoş Braniște in the 94th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.
