49595 fans braved the pouring rain at
Żabia Dziura.
Jorma Hökgren was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Giuseppe Faldella and
Cafercan Öner.
Kwiat started off with a 2-5-3 lineup.
The following players took the field: Wilamowski - Dróbka, Karolczuk - Stankiewicz, Czop, Krzycki, Uba, Patacas - Kromołowski, Blicher, Valbén.
Dominator had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation.
Starters: Dessì - Bures, Mosslind, Salat, Lauda - Puonti, Hunger, Milanov, Reve - Flórez, Sumara.
Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Dominator.
W. Uba of Kwiat seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 1 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by
R. Stankiewicz.
A spectacular volley from
L. Patacas almost resulted in a goal, but a good save from the keeper kept it out, and
W. Kromołowski could only knock the loose ball wide.
R. Valbén was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions.
K. Blicher unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide.
A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Kwiat's
L. Patacas increasing the lead to 2 - 0.
The Kwiat coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 25 minutes into the game.
Kwiat's
L. Patacas saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 34 minutes.
40 minutes into the game Dominator managed a counterattack, but
J. Reve took a soft shot from the left flank that was easy prey for the alert keeper.
2 - 0 was the score after the first half.
Kwiat enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.
Dominator needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 65 minutes
I. Sumara made way for
M. Cupać.
74 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as
W. Kromołowski broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for Kwiat.
After a short break after 75 minutes, Kwiat seemed to change their tactical approach a bit.
In the lead, Kwiat adjusted their style of play with 75 minutes gone.
G. Salat slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today.
Kwiat increased the lead as
R. Stankiewicz struck to make the score 4 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper.
After this, you could see that the players of Kwiat were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals.
85 minutes in, Dominator appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only
solid.
Kwiat had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.
W. Kromołowski performed admirably for Kwiat.
R. Stankiewicz was a disappointment, however.
The most dominating Dominator player was without a doubt
T. Milanov.
On the other hand,
G. Salat's play was disheartening.
The match ends 4 - 0.
