Spectators: 7491 (Terracing: 5619, Seating: 1723, VIP seats: 149) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Roy Bennet made the kick off which started today's match. Alexander Lundström scored 0-1 in the 9th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Radowit Panasewicz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a defensive mix-up in Dymarki Wejherowo's zone, Roy Bennet stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Radowit Panasewicz came out of the goal and Roy Bennet tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Olof Löfkvist came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Protegéerna fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Olof Löfkvist couldn't finish the play. In the 27th minute, Roy Bennet ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Radowit Panasewicz was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. Stanislaw Wieczorek might have been able to make a better finish in the 34th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Georg Vallin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Stanislaw Wieczorek ran back to his position shaking his head. Stanislaw Wieczorek received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Georg Vallin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Dymarki Wejherowo's Witold Poteralski got a free kick in the 38th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Dymarki Wejherowo's zone, Roy Bennet stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Radowit Panasewicz came out of the goal and Roy Bennet tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After the first half Protegéerna were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Oladipupo Kupareo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The audience was convinced that Roy Bennet's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Radowit Panasewicz was relentless in the 52nd minute of the game. 54 minutes into the match, Roy Bennet had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Radowit Panasewicz. Dymarki Wejherowo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Roy Bennet was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-4. In the 63rd minute, Olof Löfkvist hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Radowit Panasewicz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Roy Bennet, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. Marek Czeszejko kicked well hit freekick during the 72nd minute of the match. Protegéerna made a substitution. Charlie Apelquist replaced Alexander Lundström. The supporters of Protegéerna booed when Dymarki Wejherowo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marek Czeszejko didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sven Skark fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Radowit Panasewicz having to interfere. 84 minutes into the game, Marek Czeszejko threw the ball into play from the sideline. Protegéerna's Fredrik Billberg quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. 86 minutes into the match, Roy Bennet had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Radowit Panasewicz. Dymarki Wejherowo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Roy Bennet was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-5. Radowit Panasewicz didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 93rd minute, which inside left pole to 0-6. In the 96th minute Roy Bennet shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Radowit Panasewicz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match was over Protegéerna could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Dymarki Wejherowo throughout the match.
