Spectators: 157 (Terracing: 118, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Dinei Fernandez kicked off to start the match. In the 3rd minute Herbert Henskens shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Daniele Bucciarelli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Apocalípticos & Caóticos's Erasmo Loi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dinei Fernandez in the 4th minute of play. 6 minutes had been played when some careless play by Apocalípticos & Caóticos's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Milosz Waselenczuk was slow to take the kick. During this time Merceron United's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Milosz Waselenczuk got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Erasmo Loi quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. When the match clock showed 8 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Dinei Fernandez sped through Apocalípticos & Caóticos's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Erasmo Loi. Herbert Henskens took the ball and in the 29 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Daniele Bucciarelli. Daniele Bucciarelli dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Jan Gamza hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. Biagio Donadoni kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. The long shot by Ali Çağrı Şehzat in the 33rd minute really tested Daniele Bucciarelli's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. 34 minutes into the match, Merceron United's goal looked a bit too open when Herbert Henskens came free, but Daniele Bucciarelli reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Apocalípticos & Caóticos's Ali Çağrı Şehzat was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Daniele Bucciarelli in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Edoardo Pascucci blasted a shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Erasmo Loi having to make a save. The supporters of Apocalípticos & Caóticos booed when Merceron United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 41 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dave Giacomozzi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Apocalípticos & Caóticos's Ali Çağrı Şehzat couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Merceron United. In the 43rd match minute, Apocalípticos & Caóticos was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eymen Kakisim to maneuver through the defense. 45 minutes into the match, Fernando Gamus had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Daniele Bucciarelli. Merceron United's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Fernando Gamus was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. 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 2-1.

The wind increased when Fernando Gamus made the kick off in the second half. Edoardo Pascucci sent away a hard shot on goal in the 50th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

In the 57th minute, Merceron United's Dinei Fernandez ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Erasmo Loi. Erasmo Loi yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Edelmiro Taurino in the 61st minute of play forced Merceron United's goalkeeper Daniele Bucciarelli to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Apocalípticos & Caóticos's Erasmo Loi got control of the ball when Dinei Fernandez tried to sneak it across the goal line.
