Stadio Minoprio
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Aurelio Borel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 7 minutes into the match, Augusto Finocchi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alessandro Piccoli. Minoprio AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Augusto Finocchi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 12 minutes into the game, Bruno Di Bernardo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Viconovo AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Minoprio AFC the free kick. Augusto Finocchi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alessandro Piccoli having to interfere. If Eugenio Fioriti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fausto Marchetti charged in rather forcefully in the 24th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Fausto Marchetti the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. If Aurelio Borel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Viconovo AFC's Aurelio Borel got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Aurelio Borel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Aurelio Borel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After the first half Viconovo AFC were leading 0-1.

In the 52nd minute, Aurelio Borel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Achille Di Massimo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Felice Campitelli tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Minoprio AFC's zone, Aurelio Borel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alessandro Piccoli came out of the goal and Aurelio Borel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Felice Campitelli stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Eugenio Fioriti's shot from short distance in the 67th minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Alex Riccardi during the 68th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Eugenio Fioriti scored 1-1 in the 71st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Felice Campitelli, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Aurelio Borel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 86 played minutes Viconovo AFC got a freekick which was hit by Alex Riccardi. After 86 played minutes, Minoprio AFC's Alfonso Pietrini shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Felice Campitelli 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 Minoprio AFC reached it. Viconovo AFC were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
