A scorching day at Pogoń Arena, where 454 spectators were in place for today's match. Almog Stern was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ovidio Camarón and Shlomi Englander.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for NewTeam10. They fielded: Neme - Ciriols, Muaziz, Accettola - Osmundsen, Nantes, Reens, Arlotti, Cannaruolo - Alidori, Saathoff.

Pogoń were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Pogoń broke through on the left 13 minutes into the game, with P. Lutz firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. F. Henzel of Pogoń received a yellow card after 25 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Pogoń had to make a substitution after 36 minutes. K. Gemański limped off the field and was replaced by D. Zapała. G. Pomatta Fraga was the new captain of Pogoń - handed the armband by the departing player. After 38 minutes, the visitors levelled the scores after R. Ciriols made it through the middle and struck home to make it 1 - 1. After 40 minutes of play, P. Lutz gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right. NewTeam10's G. Arlotti had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 40 minutes having been played. R. Colzi was the replacement. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Pogoń had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

A. Cannaruolo didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. The visitors were awarded a penalty by the referee 61 minutes into the match, much to the anger of the home crowd. Ø. Osmundsen took advantage of the situation and scored to make it 2 - 2. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, K. Reens got himself booked. The manager of NewTeam10 was not happy. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to J. Kramps, but the Pogoń player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 3 - 2! 74 minutes into the game, Pogoń seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. A great save by keeper L. Neme after 76 minutes kept the visitors in the game after J. Kramps struck from the left with a real cannonball. Possession in this half belonged to Pogoń, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

Pogoń's top performer was clearly J. Kramps. However, S. Ghiţă made a disastrous appearance. Most important NewTeam10 player was G. Alidori. L. Neme on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 2.
