Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Zaccheo Andolina made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Italy's goalkeeper Flavio Vittori, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Marcial Bakar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zaccheo Andolina, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute. If Zaccheo Andolina had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Aves Negras getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Andrey Kapitanski hit a great ball. Porziano Marchitelli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcial Bakar having to interfere. After 23 minutes of play, Aves Negras's Guter Tobia made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Flavio Vittori was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 28th minute of the match Aves Negras got a corner. Italy's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Enrique Perico ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner ended in Andrey Kapitanski almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Italy's Flavio Vittori did a great save. Guter Tobia struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. Flavio Vittori didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Aves Negras. Cezar Ciorogaru kicked well hit freekick during the 33rd minute of the match. In the 36th minute, Aves Negras's Guter Tobia dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0. 44 minutes into the match, Aves Negras's goal looked a bit too open when Zaccheo Andolina came free, but Marcial Bakar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

Aves Negras's Aaron Gallagher was substituted for Giovani Lo Celso. An unexpectedly hard shot by Guter Tobia in the 55th minute of play forced Italy's goalkeeper Flavio Vittori to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 62nd minute, Guter Tobia got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Marcial Bakar made a fantastic save in the 66th minute, when Porziano Marchitelli sent off a good shot on target. The supporters of Aves Negras booed when Italy was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Eliseo Cutri didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 80th minute, Sigfrido Auletta ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Marcial Bakar was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. Flavio Vittori took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Efrain Artal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Sigfrido Auletta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When the referee blew the final whistle, Aves Negras could leave the field as winners, despite Italy having more of the ball for most of the match.
