Urbe Et Orbi's Eugenio Cavanna played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cosimo Polidori in the 4th minute of play. Cosimo Polidori received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Eugenio Cavanna tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Fortaleza's zone, Antonio Maio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Christian Campoli came out of the goal and Antonio Maio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Alessio Vitucci blasted a shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Christian Campoli having to make a save. Eugenio Cavanna showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Harry Peter, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. After a rather tough play, Fortaleza's Şehzade Akburç got a free kick in the 17th minute. A collision led to Urbe Et Orbi getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Ermanno Bianchi hit a great ball. Şehzade Akburç sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cosimo Polidori hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. Şehzade Akburç's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Eugenio Cavanna read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 34th minute of play. If Cosimo Polidori had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Antonio Maio to make the kick off. If Şehzade Akburç had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Bianco Cammarota fell near the penalty area in the 64th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Urbe Et Orbi's protests and gave Bianco Cammarota a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Urbe Et Orbi's Bianco Cammarota got a free kick in the 64th minute. In the 66th minute Cosimo Polidori shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eugenio Cavanna saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 68 played minutes Urbe Et Orbi got a freekick which was hit by Alfonso Stellato. Fortaleza's Corrado Pietropaolo was substituted for Ciro Stumpo. Urbe Et Orbi's Arturo Aversano was substituted for Antonio Maio. Şehzade Akburç struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Eugenio Cavanna didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fortaleza. After 80 minutes, Arturo Aversano made it 2-3 with a short kick to the right side. Fortaleza's Christian Campoli tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Şehzade Akburç fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eugenio Cavanna having to interfere. Urbe Et Orbi's Aurelio Vettori was substituted for Ermanno Bianchi. Fortaleza's Don Cabeza was substituted for Şehzade Akburç. After 86 minutes, Aurelio Vettori mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Urbe Et Orbi and the Fortaleza players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 87th minute, Aurelio Vettori hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Don Cabeza could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 93rd minute of the match, but Eugenio Cavanna made a huge save. A collision led to Urbe Et Orbi getting a freekick after 95 minutes play. Andrea Trasatti hit a great ball. Fortaleza's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
