Witomir Wojno was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 3 minutes into the match. The supporters of Buldogi booed when Modlau was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Witomir Wojno didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Lew Yashin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Benedykt Awizo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Jedrzej Gniech succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 11th playminute.

After a rather tough play, Buldogi's Tadeusz Karanowski got a free kick in the 53rd minute.

When Alfred Wyrzykowski came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Modlau 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 Alfred Wyrzykowski couldn't finish the play. Artur Adamski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Edmund Hendzel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
