Spectators: 7702 (Terracing: 5778, Seating: 1771, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Romeo Elenescu took the kick off in the first half of the match. LKS Do Bigosu's Gwidon Sawicki proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 6th minute of the match, managed to save LKS Do Bigosu from getting a goal against them. 7 minutes into the match, AFC Nirosxn 08's goal looked a bit too open when Radoslaw Dankowski came free, but Nistor Zamfir reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Gwidon Sawicki didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 19th minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. Nistor Zamfir showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Janusz Zbydniewski in the 23rd minute of the match. In the 26th minute Janusz Zbydniewski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nistor Zamfir saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to LKS Do Bigosu getting a freekick after 28 minutes play. Janusz Zbydniewski hit a great ball. 42 minutes into the game, Romeo Elenescu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1.

Gwidon Sawicki was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. LKS Do Bigosu's Boruc Gleba got a good chance for a goal in the 80th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in LKS Do Bigosu's zone, Claudiu Radovan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gwidon Sawicki came out of the goal and Claudiu Radovan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Lucjan Ranowiecki was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 90 minutes had been played. After a rather tough play, LKS Do Bigosu's Lucjan Ranowiecki got a free kick in the 91st minute. After 92 played minutes, AFC Nirosxn 08's Iacob Marioteanu shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Gwidon Sawicki came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in AFC Nirosxn 08 reached it. AFC Nirosxn 08's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
