Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 42436 to
Eagles Arena.
Jonuz Maxharraj was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Hernán Vergara and
Pablo Iriarte.
Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this
Śląskie derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents.
A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Eagles.
The following players had been chosen: Vilagran - Mtshali, Kilasonia, Glória - Tündik, Carluccio, Uibo, Sajkovski, Cobas - Ghitti, Corradi.
Gwidon had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation.
Lineup: Nadłonek - Balcewicz, Alarcón, Kisiel - Kanclerz, Danilczuk, Szamałek, Wysocki, Serbin - Grubka, Pece.
Eagles mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle.
Eagles's
G. Kilasonia startled
L. Corradi with an unexpected pass. Unfortunately, the receiver was too stunned by the play to convert the perfect setup into a goal.
11 minutes into the game,
W. Grubka had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide.
I. Uibo gave Eagles the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0
The visitors'
E. Szamałek was alert after a cross coming in from the left, levelling the score at 1 - 1 after 24 minutes.
Z. Kanclerz had a good opportunity to give Gwidon the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save.
Halftime score was 1 - 1.
This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

With 68 minutes played,
