Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Norbert Major kicked off to start the match. Sebastião Xoxe showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Henrik Larsson in the 14th minute of the match. Karsten Schoonderwoerd made in the 16th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Costin Moisil immediately put the ball in play. Ruben Idelberger kicked well hit freekick during the 20th minute of the match. Norbert Major sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. With a little luck, Decathlon Dudes's Tadej Pogačar got control of the ball when Norbert Major tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Pogoń Szczecin's zone, Marinus Doren stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sebastião Xoxe came out of the goal and Marinus Doren tried to chip the ball over his head.

Pogoń Szczecin's Norbert Major got a good chance for a goal in the 40th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 46 minutes of play, Decathlon Dudes's Henrik Larsson made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sebastião Xoxe was left in no man's land by his defense there! Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Henrik Larsson to make the kick off. After recieving a nice pass, Decathlon Dudes's Temelko Chukov tried to score from far away in the 54th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar.
