Due to an all-day shower, 17842 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Guadańa Arena. Luigi Righi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jesus Negro and Juan Pablo . Kondrajec had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Canavesio - Wilms, Peralta, Vilčuks, Martinac - Łuka, Cech, Kütt, François - Skorus, Arrepia.

Poznań started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Zawiliński - Bachul, Witczyński, Bayer - Adamów, Yadav, Semeník, Loche, van Tuinen - Jasieński, Gierlotka.

Kondrajec saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Poznań decided to play creatively. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 8 minutes allowed B. Bachul to score for Poznań. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 11 minutes played, B. Cech of Kondrajec made the score 1 - 1. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when V. Yadav slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against A. Canavesio, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. V. Yadav didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Kondrajec took the lead 38 minutes in, as A. Kütt broke through on the left and put the 2 - 1 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Adamów from Poznań a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 42 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! It was 2 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Poznań, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

F. Semeník spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. After 54 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after W. Gierlotka made it through the middle and struck home to make it 2 - 2. 55 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Kondrajec substitution. L. Pycki came on for C. Arrepia. Kondrajec had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. 56 minutes into the match and the home team took a 3 - 2 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for Kondrajec was M. Martinac. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of Kondrajec to 4 - 2 as L. Peralta finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. By now, the players in Kondrajec felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Poznań had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

Most important Kondrajec player was M. Skorus. However, L. Peralta made a disastrous appearance. Poznań's best player was V. Yadav. B. Bachul was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 2.
