With a couple of smart ball manuevers Felice Tacco in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Alvaro Rotili saved A.S. Udinese from getting behind. 10 minutes into the match, Maritek FC's goal looked a bit too open when Alexander Bottone came free, but Hélio O'Connell reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 16 minutes had been played when some careless play by Maritek FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Alberigo Di Franco was slow to take the kick. During this time A.S. Udinese's players had a chance to rest. Alberigo Di Franco made a great header on A.S. Udinese's corner, it was just that Maritek FC's Hélio O'Connell managed to reach the ball for a save. Alvaro Rotili made an important save on a dangerous shot by Felice Tacco in the 20th minute. In the 36th minute Alberigo Di Franco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hélio O'Connell saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 43rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Maritek FC's goalkeeper Hélio O'Connell, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. A.S. Udinese:s Alvaro Rotili showed great skill when he stopped Andrea Mariani:s penalty.

A.S. Udinese's Dino Pozzoli was substituted for Bruno Maranzano. The wind increased when Alexander Bottone made the kick off in the second half. In the 60th minute, Alexander Bottone 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. A.S. Udinese made a substitution.

Alvaro Rotili showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ferruccio Zarillo in the 74th minute of the match. Maritek FC made a substitution. Alfredo Toschi replaced Ferruccio Zarillo. Filippo Lucente made in the 81st minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Alfredo Toschi however managed to control. The audience was convinced that Andrea Mariani's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alvaro Rotili was relentless in the 82nd minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfredo Toschi in the 91st minute of play forced A.S. Udinese's goalkeeper Alvaro Rotili to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Maritek FC's Hélio O'Connell got control of the ball when Alexander Bottone tried to sneak it across the goal line. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Maritek FC fully deserved thier win.
