Barsa FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Pinzano the free kick. 5 minutes into the match, Pinzano's goal looked a bit too open when Anfilogino Morandin came free, but Federico Piccioli reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to Pinzano getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Cristoforo Mangione hit a great ball. Aurelio Iacobucci struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Federico Piccioli didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Barsa FC. In the 11th minute the ball was on its way in behind Pinzano's goalkeeper Federico Piccioli, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
