Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ciro Di Pietrantonio took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 5th minute Fortunato Rulli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Claudio Vitucci saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 7 minutes into the match, Ceglie Del Campo's goal looked a bit too open when Alessio Santarelli came free, but Damiano Melfi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Enzo Corelli was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 21st minute. Ceglie Del Campo's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Ciro Di Pietrantonio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Damiano Melfi having to interfere. Alessio Santarelli recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Fortunato Rulli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Alessio Santarelli in the 49th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Damiano Melfi saved Ceglie Del Campo from getting behind. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.
