Spectators: 41 (Terracing: 32, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Italy's Zaccheo Andolina started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Máximo Portero took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Siricio Liotta, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Italy booed when Paso FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Frederik Hötzl didn't get a good kick on the ball. Máximo Portero 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 4th minute. After having played for 5 minutes, Zaccheo Andolina managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Italy's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zaccheo Andolina was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 9th minute Zaccheo Andolina shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Máximo Portero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Oktay Eğriöz took the ball and in the 10 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Flavio Vittori. Flavio Vittori dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. Oktay Eğriöz scored 2-0 in the 15th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Flavio Vittori, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After some careless play in the Paso FC defense, Zaccheo Andolina kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Máximo Portero. The Paso FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Máximo Portero should have stopped the shot. Paso FC's Máximo Portero played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Porziano Marchitelli in the 23rd minute of play. Sigfrido Auletta's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Máximo Portero read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 27th minute of play. Oktay Eğriöz 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 Paso FC. In the 40th minute Sigfrido Auletta shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Máximo Portero saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 45th minute of the game Damien Law made a throw-in which Damien Law played forward. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 2-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Oktay Eğriöz to make the kick off. In the 51st minute of the game Damien Law made a throw-in which Tomas Lucero played forward. Flavio Vittori came out of the goal in the 52nd minute to try and stop a shot by Paso FC's Oktay Eğriöz. But to his dismay, Oktay Eğriöz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-3. In the 56th minute, Oktay Eğriöz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Flavio Vittori was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-3. Paso FC made a substitution. Ata Cante replaced Oktay Eğriöz. Damien Law got a throw-in 65 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Tomas Lucero. After 67 minutes of play, Paso FC's Ata Cante made it 5-3 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! Damien Law made in the 72nd minute of the game a throw-in that took a bad bounce and was taken care of by Italy's Eliseo Cutri. Siricio Liotta fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Máximo Portero having to interfere. Italy's Sansone Vanella was substituted for Gianpaolo Mascari. After 84 minutes Italy's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Ata Cante who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Paso FC's Fabio Cannavaro to fire away a dangerous shot which Flavio Vittori despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 86th 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. After a defensive mix-up in Italy's zone, Ata Cante stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Flavio Vittori came out of the goal and Ata Cante tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Máximo Portero took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adriano Curto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 91 played minutes Paso FC got a freekick which was hit by Ata Cante. Teo Cresitobalo kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Máximo Portero showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Adriano Curto in the 95th minute of the match. Many of Italy's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Italy may have spent more time on the ball, but Paso FC were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
