ZSRR had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. They fielded: Iwasieczko - Kornacki, Noweta, Cender, Szulżyk - Krawczyk, Makieła, Dawidczyk, Nykiel - Koziorek, Tarabasz.

ZSRR's D. Nykiel was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - J. Krawczyk managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 0 - 1 after 23 minutes. Tychy71's K. Gadomski put his head to a well placed ball, lifted in from the left, and scored to make the score 1 - 1 with 38 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock. S. Tarabasz came close to putting the visiting team one up 41 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but P. Ertel managed to tip the ball to a corner. ZSRR's S. Tarabasz managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 44 minutes. 1 - 2. The referee showed ZSRR's D. Nykiel the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 1 - 2 was the halftime score. Tychy71 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

M. Ruta was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Tychy71 with a strike from the left, but A. Iwasieczko managed to ward the shot off for a corner. Unsportsmanlike behaviour by D. Nykiel rendered him his second booking of the match, and ZSRR had to finish the game with a reduced squad. ZSRR's J. Krawczyk got himself booked for a foul. Following a foul after 72 minutes, Tychy71 got themselves a free kick just outside the penalty area. B. Mastalerz levelled the scoreline - 2 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Tychy71, who controlled the ball 64 percent of the time.

M. Ruta performed admirably for Tychy71. G. Ciołek was a disappointment, however. The most dominating ZSRR player was without a doubt P. Noweta. However, A. Iwasieczko made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 2.
