Stadion Juliszew
Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Kryspin Banach got the match started through his kick off. 4 minutes into the game, Eugenio Romelio was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Habsburgo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Juliszew SSA the free kick. Eugenio Romelio hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. Bernard Cipinski shot from long distance in the 5th minute, but Rafael Gombal was prepared and stopped the ball at the left post. 8 minutes into the match, Habsburgo's goal looked a bit too open when Gustaw Pilarski came free, but Rafael Gombal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alonzo Galo recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 12th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Gerardo Gilabert had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Rafael Gombal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kryspin Banach, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. Bernard Cipinski was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 25 minutes into the match. The referee gave Habsburgo a penalty, 27 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Amado Cordarryl, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Juliszew SSA's Wincenty Franzik. 0-1. 30 minutes into the match, Alonzo Galo notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Juliszew SSA's Wincenty Franzik. Wincenty Franzik was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 33 played minutes Juliszew SSA got a freekick which was hit by Tomasz Niziolek. After a defensive mix-up in Juliszew SSA's zone, Amado Cordarryl stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Wincenty Franzik came out of the goal and Amado Cordarryl tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to Habsburgo getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Leo Romo hit a great ball. When Zachary Wojtowicz came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Juliszew 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 Zachary Wojtowicz couldn't finish the play. Juliszew SSA's Wincenty Franzik played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alonzo Galo in the 44th minute of play. The Juliszew SSA players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Habsburgo were winning 0-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Gerardo Gilabert made a kick off. Eugenio Romelio kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. In the 62nd match minute, Habsburgo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Amado Cordarryl to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 63 minutes, Edmund Zapolski managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Juliszew SSA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Edmund Zapolski was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Gerardo Gilabert could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 69th minute of the match, but Wincenty Franzik made a huge save. Edmund Zapolski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Juliszew SSA booed when Habsburgo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 84 match minutes in a wonderful position. Amado Cordarryl didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gustaw Pilarski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafael Gombal having to interfere. Edmund Zapolski scored 2-2 in the 89th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rafael Gombal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 95th minute, Habsburgo's Paolo Ur seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Paolo Ur the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Habsburgo protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Paolo Ur had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. When the referee ended the match the Juliszew SSA players were able to celebrate. They had won a fair victory and recieved the ovations of their fans.
