Spectators: 7545 (Terracing: 5660, Seating: 1735, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Alfonso Palban got the match started through his kick off. Raul Castulo could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 6th minute of the match, but Remigiusz Madej made a huge save. After a rather tough play, Franja Dorada's Lisandro Remicio got a free kick in the 17th minute. In the 19th minute of the match Cosme Tanio sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Remigiusz Madej skillfully saved the ball. 25 minutes into the match, Franja Dorada's goal looked a bit too open when Mariusz Ankiewicz came free, but Venancio Hodei reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 27th minute Zbyszko Bartochowski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Venancio Hodei saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 29th minute, Borys Napierkowski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 38th minute, Franja Dorada's Lisandro Remicio seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Lisandro Remicio the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Franja Dorada protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Lisandro Remicio had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Nicasio Dodorol fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Remigiusz Madej having to interfere. Venancio Hodei showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Radomir Skikiewicz in the 44th minute of the match. After having played for 47 minutes, Alfonso Palban managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Franja Dorada's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alfonso Palban was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

With a little luck, Franja Dorada's Venancio Hodei got control of the ball when Zbyszko Bartochowski tried to sneak it across the goal line. Venancio Hodei took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zbyszko Bartochowski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Remigiusz Madej took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alfonso Palban, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 64 played minutes MZetowe Mastodonty got a freekick which was hit by Borys Napierkowski. Venancio Hodei showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mariusz Ankiewicz in the 67th minute of the match. When Mikolaj Okropny fell near the penalty area in the 70th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored MZetowe Mastodonty's protests and gave Mikolaj Okropny a yellow card for diving instead. In the 70th minute, Mikolaj Okropny hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Alfonso Palban had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 75th minute Alfonso Palban shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Remigiusz Madej saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 79th minute Raul Castulo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Remigiusz Madej saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raul Castulo in the 83rd minute of play forced MZetowe Mastodonty's goalkeeper Remigiusz Madej to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Zbyszko Bartochowski could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 89th minute of the match, but Venancio Hodei made a huge save.
