Eraldo Silvagni recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Anfilogino Renzi ran back to his position shaking his head. When Filippo Caruso came up free with the goalie in the 86th minute, the Vinco AFC 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 Filippo Caruso couldn't finish the play.
