Spectators: 7328 (Terracing: 5555, Seating: 1703, VIP seats: 70) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Edmondo Marra got the match started through his kick off. Fortunato Orsi charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Fortunato Orsi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 4 minutes into the match, Forcellini's Davide Nobile broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. If Edoardo Di Crescenzo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 10 minutes into the match, Forcellini's goalkeeper Anthony Venditti had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ciro Persichetti.

A collision led to Forcellini getting a freekick after 27 minutes play. Ferruccio Della Rocca hit a great ball. Amedeo Luciano might have been able to make a better finish in the 29th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Anthony Venditti. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Amedeo Luciano ran back to his position shaking his head. The supporters of Atletico Bullianese booed when Forcellini was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ferruccio Della Rocca didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Forcellini's zone, Ciro Persichetti stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

In the 47th minute of the match Davide Nobile sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Fortunato Muzi skillfully saved the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Amedeo Luciano made the kick off in the second half. Atletico Bullianese were awarded a corner in the 53th minute after Forcellini's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Bruno Marchesani took the corner. The corner ended in Bruno Marchesani almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Forcellini's Anthony Venditti did a great save. Bruno Marchesani's shot from long distance was a real pearl which went to the right and just passed Anthony Venditti - 2-0 was put on the score board in the 53rd minute.

In the 66th match minute, Atletico Bullianese was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alvaro Costantini to maneuver through the defense. Davide Nobile was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 67th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Fortunato Muzi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edmondo Marra, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Emiliano Silvagni's late challenge caught a Atletico Bullianese's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

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. Atletico Bullianese fully deserved thier win.
