One of Samurai Champions FC:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of RKS Królewscy:s goal. After a rather tough play, RKS Królewscy's Radomil Gajewski got a free kick in the 17th minute. When Kajetan Kluczyk fell near the penalty area in the 19th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored RKS Królewscy's protests and gave Kajetan Kluczyk a yellow card for diving instead. After 19 played minutes RKS Królewscy got a freekick which was hit by Kajetan Kluczyk. Alexsandro Netto showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ksawery Fabiszak in the 28th minute of the match. Gustaw Misiewicz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alexsandro Netto having to interfere. 32 minutes into the match, RKS Królewscy's goalkeeper Edwin van der Saar had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Jeferson Amaral.

Alexsandro Netto came out of the goal and Patryk Kosel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ksawery Fabiszak stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 55 minutes into the match, RKS Królewscy's goal looked a bit too open when Renan Sena came free, but Edwin van der Saar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Ksawery Fabiszak had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The supporters of RKS Królewscy booed when Samurai Champions FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Davi Loureiro didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 77th minute, Leopoldo Velasco managed to get in a good position for a shot. Samurai Champions FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Leopoldo Velasco was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Edwin van der Saar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Renan Sena in the 79th minute of play forced RKS Królewscy's goalkeeper Edwin van der Saar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 89th minute Ksawery Fabiszak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alexsandro Netto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match was over RKS Królewscy could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Samurai Champions FC throughout the match.
