Spectators: 194 (Terracing: 146, Seating: 45, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Frank Biscotti started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, ❤GinchanelManu13❤'s Eraldo Di Falco sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Simon Albäck narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Eraldo Di Falco came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the ❤GinchanelManu13❤ fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Eraldo Di Falco couldn't finish the play. Simon Albäck didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alvaro Verdone went, in the 10th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Simon Albäck made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Frank Biscotti in the 13th minute of play.

In the 15th minute, Birger Tomasson hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Jörgen Borre fell near the penalty area in the 18th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Cesare Rigoni made a fantastic save in the 25th minute, when Adrian Nordmark sent off a good shot on target.

Adrian Nordmark could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 48th minute of the match, but Cesare Rigoni made a huge save. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
