Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) AP Tempo's Bartlomiej Filipowski started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 6 minutes into the match, Julian Zahemski notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of AP Tempo's Zbyszek Smolarek.

In the 19th minute, Mateusz Milko left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The ②Θ►LΘCΘ◄Θ⑨ fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0.

AP Tempo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Julian Zahemski was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. With an all-out effort, ②Θ►LΘCΘ◄Θ⑨'s Zbyszek Smolarek threw himself towards the right post 35 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Julian Zahemski, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Bartosz Bialakowski showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Waldemar Korytkowski in the 36th minute of the match.
