Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Concetto Betti made the kick off which started today's match. If Anselmo Signori had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Anselmo Signori recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alessio Troiani in the 10th minute of play forced Medoacus Maior's goalkeeper Armin Mantini to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Anselmo Signori took the ball and in the 11 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dave Bassani. Dave Bassani dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. Dave Bassani made a fantastic save in the 14th minute, when Anselmo Signori sent off a good shot on target. Alessio Galliani kicked well hit freekick during the 14th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Aversa's Alessio Galliani got a free kick in the 19th minute. After 20 played minutes Aversa got a freekick which was hit by Arrigo De Simone. After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Anselmo Signori managed to get in a good position for a shot. Medoacus Maior's supporters rose to their feet, but Anselmo Signori was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Dave Bassani breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 25th minute Florian Fanfarone shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dave Bassani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Fabrizio Donadoni came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Medoacus Maior fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Fabrizio Donadoni couldn't finish the play. Armin Mantini stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Alessio Troiani's shot from short distance in the 30th minute. Florian Fanfarone struck a weak shot in the 37th minute. Dave Bassani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Medoacus Maior. Flavio Martini charged in rather forcefully in the 39th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Flavio Martini the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 39th minute, Flavio Martini hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 42nd minute, Florian Fanfarone hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 44 minutes, Alessio Galliani mouthed his way into the referee's book.

After a rather tough play, Aversa's Adriano Briganti got a free kick in the 47th minute. Anselmo Signori took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 48th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Dave Bassani. Aversa's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Anselmo Signori to make the kick off. In the 51st minute, Anselmo Signori got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 60th minute Florian Fanfarone shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dave Bassani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 61st minute the ball was on its way in behind Aversa's goalkeeper Dave Bassani, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Armin Mantini was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Concetto Betti showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-2 in the 64 minute of play. In the 70th minute, Florian Fanfarone hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 71 played minutes, Aversa's Concetto Betti shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Armin Mantini came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Aversa reached it. In the 72nd minute, Anselmo Signori made a precise shot to the right of Dave Bassani. Aversa's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. In the 79th match minute, Medoacus Maior was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Fabrizio Donadoni to maneuver through the defense.

Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
