Today, Zakliczyn's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. MIĘDZYRZECZ's A. Kacprzak was shown a yellow card after 6 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Given a free kick close to the byline, Zakliczyn tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let D. Kostur slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 1, 30 minutes into the game. D. Ochnio of Zakliczyn took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 32 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. A drive down the left side allowed T. Kobrzyński to get in close and score another goal for Zakliczyn after 36 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 3. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Zakliczyn, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. With 41 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed D. Ochnio of Zakliczyn to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Zakliczyn lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Zakliczyn enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

The visitors' T. Kobrzyński took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 55 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Zakliczyn. Zakliczyn were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. F. Alcántara increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 6. T. Kobrzyński received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 66 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 7. The Zakliczyn fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. This third goal completed a hattrick for T. Kobrzyński. Zakliczyn claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Most important MIĘDZYRZECZ player was M. Gołaszewicz. R. Kinal was a disappointment, however. T. Kobrzyński performed admirably for Zakliczyn. A. Haschek on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 7.
