Spectators: 46 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Lucas Navarro got the match started through his kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lucas Navarro in the 3rd minute of play forced Calenzano's goalkeeper Felix Ivarsson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Arturo Di Matteo might have been able to make a better finish in the 4th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Shaki Conn. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Arturo Di Matteo ran back to his position shaking his head. Shaki Conn showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arturo Di Matteo in the 4th minute of the match. A collision led to ForestFire getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Luisito James hit a great ball. Arturo Di Matteo struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Shaki Conn didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Calenzano.

Elton Brewster kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Arturo Di Matteo in the 29th minute of play forced ForestFire's goalkeeper Shaki Conn to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Luisito James was slow to take the kick. During this time ForestFire's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Cãlin Tâmbalari got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Felix Ivarsson quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.
