Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Zaccheo Andolina got the match started through his kick off. Honorato Aznaro showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sigfrido Auletta, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. Zaccheo Andolina's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Honorato Aznaro read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 8th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Habsburgo's zone, Zaccheo Andolina stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Honorato Aznaro came out of the goal and Zaccheo Andolina tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Honorato Aznaro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zaccheo Andolina, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Italy's Flavio Vittori proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 17th minute of the match, managed to save Italy from getting a goal against them. Flavio Vittori made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Willian Pay in the 20th minute of play. A collision led to Habsburgo getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Fabian Hansson hit a great ball. In the 23rd minute Zaccheo Andolina shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Honorato Aznaro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Zaccheo Andolina sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 27 minutes had been played when some careless play by Italy's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Fabian Hansson was slow to take the kick. During this time Habsburgo's players had a chance to rest. The corner ended in Sixto Milio almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Italy's Flavio Vittori did a great save. When the match had gone on for 28 minutes, Sixto Milio put it in 1-0 from a short distance just to the right of Flavio Vittori. After 30 minutes of play, Italy's Zaccheo Andolina made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Honorato Aznaro was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Sixto Milio managed to get in a good position for a shot. Habsburgo's supporters rose to their feet, but Sixto Milio was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Flavio Vittori breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 40 minutes into the game, Willian Pay cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Flavio Vittori was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 47 minutes into the match, Italy's goal looked a bit too open when Willian Pay came free, but Flavio Vittori reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Willian Pay made a kick off. Flavio Vittori made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Willian Pay in the 60th minute of play. In the 66th minute Willian Pay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Flavio Vittori saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 68 minutes into the match, Habsburgo's goal looked a bit too open when Zaccheo Andolina came free, but Honorato Aznaro reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Honorato Aznaro stood somewhat misplaced when Zaccheo Andolina came free in front of goal and shot 2-3 to the left of him in the 68 minute. Zaccheo Andolina spun around in front of the goal 72 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Habsburgo's goal. Willian Pay scored 3-3 in the 75th 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. Through an outstanding action, after 78 minutes, Honorato Aznaro successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Flavio Vittori showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Willian Pay in the 81st minute of the match. When the match had gone on for 84 minutes, Zaccheo Andolina took a quick shot and it went in 3-4 without a chance for Honorato Aznaro to make any attempt to save it. Honorato Aznaro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adriano Curto, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Willian Pay in the 94th minute of play forced Italy's goalkeeper Flavio Vittori to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Adriano Curto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
