Spectators: 147 (Terracing: 111, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Mikolaj Resel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gleszcz SSA.

When Stanislaw Podolski came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Gleszcz SSA 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 Stanislaw Podolski couldn't finish the play. Mikolaj Resel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Stefan Piatek, who was totally free with the ball in the 57th minute. Stanislaw Podolski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Mikolaj Resel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the match clock showed 60 minutes, the score became 2-0 when Juliusz Pacholewski sped through RW AHLEN-KNURÓW's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Mikolaj Resel. Iwo Jakisz's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Jerzy Zahemski firmly grabbed it by the left post. 66 minutes into the game, Gleszcz SSA's Juliusz Pacholewski nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Mikolaj Resel made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Szymon Beninda managed to get in a good position for a shot. RW AHLEN-KNURÓW's supporters rose to their feet, but Szymon Beninda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jerzy Zahemski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Szymon Beninda lost his temper 86 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 85th minute, one of RW AHLEN-KNURÓW:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for RW AHLEN-KNURÓW. Juliusz Pacholewski walked up to take care of the penalty kick. He was aiming for the top corner, but the ball went just outside the post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Juliusz Pacholewski in the 89th minute of play forced RW AHLEN-KNURÓW's goalkeeper Mikolaj Resel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Stefan Piatek recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 94th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Stanislaw Podolski scored 4-0 in the 95th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mikolaj Resel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When the referee ended the match the Gleszcz SSA players were able to celebrate. They had won a fair victory and recieved the ovations of their fans.
