Łapanka 2 - 1 Gołębie (379877012)

Clouds darkened the skies at Stadion im. Piotra Kaczkowskiego as 1058 spectators turned up for the match. Jos Bekenkamp was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hynek Kubík and Michi Pitt. Łapanka decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: Bailey - Ventimilla, Johansson - Ludiņš, Garrote, Schults, Figueiredo, Monsaraz - Szałach, Grajczyk, Chaja.

Gołębie tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Brożek - Kobierzycki, Prestía, Pasquier, Guarneri - Kaukajoki, Celio, van der Vlist, Stoykov, Oleggini - Biegeleben.

Łapanka had a good opportunity to take the lead as K. Chaja came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of R. Brożek. Łapanka's I. Ludiņš showed his experience, anticipating the outcome of the opponent's defensive clearance and positioning himself perfectly to volley in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. 1 - 0. With 19 minutes played, Łapanka put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to E. Figueiredo, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Gołębie's E. Prestía tried his best to narrow the score with a well placed free kick, but it wasn't quite good enough and W. Bailey managed to block the shot. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their J. Kaukajoki reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 after 27 minutes, following a pass from the right. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Gołębie had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Gołębie's coach was not happy when E. Prestía missed a penalty 64 minutes into the match. After 65 minutes, Gołębie's R. Oleggini fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Gołębie needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 66 minutes R. Oleggini made way for C. Rocha. With 78 minutes played, the visitors almost levelled the score. E. Prestía shot a hard curved free kick, striking the post. C. Rocha made a nice dash down the wing after 79 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. The referee showed Gołębie's K. Pasquier the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Gołębie claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Łapanka's top performer was clearly W. Szałach. However, W. Bailey made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Gołębie player was without a doubt L. van der Vlist. K. Pasquier was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
