Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Loco Palermo got the match started through his kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Montesacro FC's goal looked a bit too open when Edvard Slæggerup came free, but Giacomo Casanova reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Loco Palermo took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Alessandro Mancinelli. Alessandro Mancinelli dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Alessandro Mancinelli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Loco Palermo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alessandro Mancinelli showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Paolo Rossi, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute.

Paolo Rossi blasted a shot towards the goal in the 18th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Alessandro Mancinelli having to make a save.

Loco Palermo ran back to his position shaking his head. 24 minutes into the match, Montesacro FC's goalkeeper Giacomo Casanova had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Edvard Slæggerup. After some fancy dribbling in the 29th minute, Juliusz Julien managed to get in a good position for a shot. Montesacro FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Juliusz Julien was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alessandro Mancinelli breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a rather tough play, Montesacro FC's Daniel Prodan got a free kick in the 30th minute. If Edvard Slæggerup had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 34th minute, Wieslaw Wawro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Edvard Slæggerup in the 37th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Giacomo Casanova saved Montesacro FC from getting behind. Anthony Del Gatto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Loco Palermo in the 41st minute of play forced Gabbro FC's goalkeeper Alessandro Mancinelli to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Edvard Slæggerup stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

In the 84th minute, Wieslaw Wawro hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Loco Palermo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alessandro Mancinelli was relentless in the 86th minute of the game. Edvard Slæggerup struck a weak shot in the 91st minute. Giacomo Casanova didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gabbro FC.
