Cihanbeyli Park
Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Zaccheo Andolina started the match with the kick off. Flavio Vittori made a fantastic save in the 3rd minute, when Claudiu Răducanu sent off a good shot on target. Lütfü Öktemer 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 5th minute. Darío Benedetto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Flavio Vittori having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Claudiu Răducanu in the 9th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Flavio Vittori saved Italy from getting behind. When the match had gone on for 11 minutes, Claudiu Răducanu put it in 1-0 from a short distance just to the right of Flavio Vittori. Italy's Flavio Vittori proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 18th minute of the match, managed to save Italy from getting a goal against them. 21 minutes into the match, Italy's goal looked a bit too open when Darío Benedetto came free, but Flavio Vittori reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lütfü Öktemer came out of the goal in the 23rd minute to try and stop a shot by Italy's Siricio Liotta. But to his dismay, Siricio Liotta quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. After a defensive mix-up in Italy's zone, Ozan Atılay stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Flavio Vittori came out of the goal and Ozan Atılay tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 40 minutes into the match, Zaccheo Andolina had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Lütfü Öktemer. MARAZZINO's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Zaccheo Andolina was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. After 43 played minutes MARAZZINO got a freekick which was hit by Arman Miran. Zaccheo Andolina took the ball and in the 45 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lütfü Öktemer. Lütfü Öktemer dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-3. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Claudiu Răducanu to strike the kick off in the second half. Lütfü Öktemer took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zaccheo Andolina, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. MARAZZINO's Lütfü Öktemer proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 61st minute of the match, managed to save MARAZZINO from getting a goal against them. Lütfü Öktemer was out of position in the 74 minute of play, and Sigfrido Auletta capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Sigfrido Auletta really showed his touch with that goal: 1-4. MARAZZINO made a substitution. Giorgio Chiellini replaced Arman Miran. After a rather tough play, Italy's Zena Busacca got a free kick in the 79th minute. Tansel Öktürk missed a clear chance of a goal when in the 80 minute of the game fired away a shot, but unfortunally the ball went out to the Flavio Vittori right hand side. Italy's Guiscardo Davide was substituted for Sigfrido Auletta. 91 minutes into the match, MARAZZINO's goal looked a bit too open when Adriano Curto came free, but Lütfü Öktemer reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 93rd of the match, Siricio Liotta tried to place the ball in the upper right corner, but Lütfü Öktemer got in the way and made a wonderful save. Flavio Vittori made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dacian Zburliş in the 95th minute of play. Flavio Vittori showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tansel Öktürk in the 96th minute of the match. When the final whistle sounded Italy left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than MARAZZINO.
