Stadio Diego
Spectators: 7510 (Terracing: 5800, Seating: 1600, VIP seats: 110) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Amedeo Mascia took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Carter Gava got free with Federico Prisco in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some careless play in the DIEGO FC defense, Amedeo Mascia kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Felice Melis. The DIEGO FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Felice Melis should have stopped the shot. After 9 played minutes LA Lord Perez got a freekick which was hit by Dave Del Duca. After having played for 9 minutes, Attilio Placidi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. DIEGO FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Attilio Placidi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Carter Gava recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 11th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 17th minute, Amedeo Mascia left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The LA Lord Perez fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2.

After 31 minutes DIEGO FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Alessio Morandin who took care of the corner kick. LA Lord Perez's Alessio Morandin was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Felice Melis in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Claudio Reggianini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Felice Melis having to interfere.

The referee showed Carter Piccinini the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 39th minute, one of LA Lord Perez:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for LA Lord Perez. The goalkeeper, Federico Prisco, was totally fooled by DIEGO FC's Attilio Placidi, who 41 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Felice Melis showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alfonso Melani, who was totally free with the ball in the 47th minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Carter Gava made a kick off. In the 52nd minute, Claudio Reggianini 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.

But to his dismay, Amedeo Mascia quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. In the 57th minute Alberto Riccitelli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Federico Prisco saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Felice Melis was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Amedeo Mascia showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-4 in the 61 minute of play. 69 minutes into the match, LA Lord Perez's goal looked a bit too open when Alberto Riccitelli came free, but Federico Prisco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
