The wind increased when Slawomir Spychalski made the kick off in the second half. The audience was convinced that Slawomir Spychalski's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Luisão Seco was relentless in the 51st minute of the game.

C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Fabian Zacharczyk came free, but Luisão Seco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
