Both teams started the play with calm pass exchanges, and only in the 5th minute the players coached by Dieter Hecking decided to launch the first attack. The next situation dangerous for the Wisła goalkeeper Miśkiewicz – threatened by Schafer - took place in the 13th minute, when the ball kicked by the Wolfsburg defender sailed over Wisła’s goal crossbar.

Moments later, Kutsche was close to overpowering the home goalkeeper, but the Wolfsburg attacker was stopped by the White Star captain - Arkadiusz Głowacki. In the 15th minute, Klose was near scoring, but the ball after his shot bounced off the crossbar. A hundred and eighty seconds later, a great perpendicular pass from Naldo went to Kutschke, but Bunoza was ready for it, interrupting the guests’ action.

In the 25th minute, Sarki raced along the left flank towards the visitors’ penalty area. However, the pass of the midfielder from Cracow did not connect. In response, Wolfsburg tried to surprise Miśkiewicz, but a shot from Kutschke did not find its way to Wisła’s goal. Four minutes later, the starring role was once again taken by the visitors’ striker, Kutschke; this time as well the Wolfsburg player could not evade Bunoza, who stopped him from scoring.

In the 31st minute, Burliga tried to pass the ball to his teammates in the penalty area, but Klose jumped over them to receive the cross from the Wisła player, sending the ball out of play. Moments later, the action moved near the White Star goal, where Naldo headed the ball, but this particular shot from the visitors team tall player went over the crossbar.

In the 36th minute, after Burliga’s mistake, the players from Germany found themselves in a very opportune situation. Ultimately though, Diego did not take advantage of a pass by Kutschke, wasting this "gift" from Wisła. Four minutes before the halftime whistle, Kaminski decided to try to press, but his attempt did not turn the things around for the hosts of the Sunday match. In the 44th minute, Diego used a free-kick opportunity to send a precise shot towards Wisła’s goal – in the end though, it was once again a miss. In injury time, the best thus far situation for the White Star team was not taken advantage of, when, after a play from Bunoza, Sarki missed his shot.

The second half of the match began on a high note, when, immediately after changing sides, Guerrier sent the ball straight to Wolfsburg goal. The Haitian, after a fantastic charge on the left wing, entered the penalty area and hit the ball perfectly, aiming for the far post - the visitors goalkeeper had no chance. One hundred and twenty seconds later, the score was evened by Kutschke, but the referee did wave off the goal, suggesting that the player coached by Hecking was in an offside position.

In the 50th minute, Małecki spotted Garguła charging on the right wing, but the White Star midfielder failed to reach the ball passed by his teammate on time. Five minutes later, a speeding Kutschke found himself in the penalty area of the home team, but a great intervention from the Cracow team captain saved the goal. In the 63rd minute, Palacios ran into the penalty area from the right side; after the shot he fired, the ball hit the crossbar and fell to the feet of Medojević, who without much difficulty evened out the score.

In the 73rd minute, a great pass from Sarki went to Fryc, who played the ball to Małecki – however, the shot by the Wisła player was effectively blocked by the visitors. Only seconds later, the crowd was overjoyed when Sarki – in a powerful and precise shot from around 30 meters – put the ball in Grun’s net. Three minutes later, Guerrier was close to scoring another goal, but in the end the Haitian missed by few inches and did not increase the match score.

In the 78th minute, Sarki raced along the right side towards the goal and decided to strike – but ultimately his shot missed its destiny. Moments later, Scheidhauer tried to surprise the White Star goalkeeper, but the ball after his kick sailed past the Wisła goal. In the 86th minute, another opportunity for the home team was created by Sarki, but the midfielder from Cracow did not connect with the ball clearly, and the shot went wide.
Two minutes before the final referee whistle, Kutschke had a chance to score and catch up, however an intervention by Głowacki saved the goal guarded by Miśkiewicz. In the 91st minute, Sarki decided on another attack, but the powerful shot by the Wisła midfielder was stopped without much effort by the Wolfsburg goalkeeper.
