With 42 minutes played, pheonician's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to F.

Jarząbski squirmed through their central defence after 86 minutes, increasing the lead to 10 - 0. After 88 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and R.
