Spectators: 151 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Jakub Siedlecki started the match with the kick off. When Robert Chrzan fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Joga Bonito's protests and gave Robert Chrzan a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Joga Bonito's Robert Chrzan got a free kick in the 7th minute.

In the 12th minute Jakub Siedlecki shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Radomir Japola saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The supporters of Galaxy Team U18 booed when Joga Bonito was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 24 match minutes in a wonderful position. Robert Chrzan didn't get a good kick on the ball. 30 minutes into the match, Joga Bonito's goal looked a bit too open when Jakub Siedlecki came free, but Radomir Japola reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Radomir Japola came out and tried to block the shot, but Robert Przybyciel slotted it home off the left post making it 2-2 in the 48th minute.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Zbyszko Dula to make the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Joga Bonito's zone, Jakub Siedlecki stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Radomir Japola came out of the goal and Jakub Siedlecki tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 56 played minutes Joga Bonito got a freekick which was hit by Robert Chrzan. Zbyszko Dula in the 60thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal.

After 63 minutes of play, Galaxy Team U18's Robert Przybyciel made it 3-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Radomir Japola was left in no man's land by his defense there! During the 66th minute of the match Hugon Mios completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Hugon Mios a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game.

Zbyszko Dula sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Joga Bonito's Zbyszko Dula managed to work through Galaxy Team U18's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Zbyszko Dula dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Galaxy Team U18's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
