Ernesto Pasquale received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Amedeo Maranzano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

After 52 played minutes, Druento AFC's Enzo Morandin shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Amedeo Maranzano came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Druento AFC reached it. Anthony Gaspari struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Anfilogino Spitaleri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Riva Verde FC.
