On Sunday (8 November), BKS Bobrzanie faced the local Chrobry at the stadium in Nowogrodziec. The derby match was the final game of the autumn round of the Lower Silesian fourth-division competition. The first 20 minutes clearly belonged to the hosts. Dawid Kizyma's goal was threatened in succession by Marcin Jankowski (a blocked shot and a strike over the crossbar), Józef Pietrzak (a powerful free-kick and a punch by the BKS goalkeeper), and Łukasz Kusiak (a shot and a good save by the Bolesławiec goalkeeper). In the 19th minute, the BKS players were lucky. In a goalmouth scramble, the hosts hit defenders twice.

As time passed, the game became more heated. BKS players, the coach, officials and supporters had many complaints about the referee. The referee called fouls mainly against Chrobry players. Towards the end of the first half, Mateusz Janczyszyn had to leave the pitch. After fouling a player from the home team, the BKS player received a second yellow card (he had received the first for using profanity). BKS defender Piotr Halkowicz was also shown a yellow card. In the final minutes, Grzegorz Kasper tested Dawid Kizyma's form once more. However, the goalless score remained unchanged until half-time.

After the break, the Bolesławiec side had chances to score. However, Adam Klimas and Mateusz Mucha's shots were too weak and inaccurate. In the 50th minute, the referee made a controversial decision. Chrobry striker Marcin Jankowski was holding the intervening BKS goalkeeper, but it was the BKS goalkeeper who received a yellow card. In the 60th minute, the referee made a debatable decision against Chrobry. The official disallowed a goal scored for Chrobry by Artur Milewski. In the referee's opinion, the player had been offside.

Kamil Mielnik failed to take advantage of a good opportunity. The BKS player got past the home defenders and shot wide. Four minutes later, Chrystian Serkies found himself in a good position. However, the BKS striker shot straight at the Chrobry goalkeeper. In the 77th minute, Artur Milewski put the ball into the net for the second time. The referee also disallowed this goal, seeing a foul on the Bolesławiec goalkeeper. The derby was decided in the 87th minute. The goal for Chrobry Nowogrodziec was scored by Łukasz Kusiak. In the closing stages, Adam Popecki missed the chance to score an equaliser. The player struck a free-kick high over the crossbar of the goal guarded by Rafał Golba. BKS Bobrzanie lost 0–1 to Chrobry Nowogrodziec. The Nowogrodziec team finished the autumn round in third place in the table. BKS Bobrzanie are in 10th place.
