Tovia Qlepisko
Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Slawomir Puchlik started the match with the kick off. Ulryk Puch's late challenge caught a Concordia Knurów's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ulryk Puch helped the player get up and apologised. In the 6th match minute, 1909 Tarnovia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ulryk Puch to maneuver through the defense. Gilbert Balkiewicz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Miroslaw Glozor, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 17th minute of the match Krzysztof Bulkiewicz shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Janusz Brack showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Ulryk Puch took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Janusz Brack. Janusz Brack dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. In the 22nd minute, Slawomir Puchlik made a precise shot to the right of Gilbert Balkiewicz. 1909 Tarnovia's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. 25 minutes into the match, 1909 Tarnovia's goal looked a bit too open when Slawomir Puchlik came free, but Gilbert Balkiewicz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, 1909 Tarnovia's Korneliusz Wojno got a free kick in the 26th minute. 1909 Tarnovia's Gilbert Balkiewicz played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Slawomir Puchlik in the 28th minute of play. Miroslaw Glozor recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Slawomir Puchlik sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Miroslaw Glozor received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Gilbert Balkiewicz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Slawomir Puchlik came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the Concordia Knurów 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 Slawomir Puchlik couldn't finish the play. The 1909 Tarnovia players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Concordia Knurów were winning 1-3.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ulryk Puch to make the kick off. Janusz Brack made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zula Bara in the 61st minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Bartosz Laba during the 66th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Concordia Knurów booed when 1909 Tarnovia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 66 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bartosz Laba didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 77th minute, Ludomir Boruta hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Slawomir Puchlik sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Janusz Brack took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zula Bara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 91st minute, Slawomir Puchlik managed to get in a good position for a shot. Concordia Knurów's supporters rose to their feet, but Slawomir Puchlik was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gilbert Balkiewicz breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Miroslaw Glozor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.
