After 30 minutes, Felice Bassani mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Peretti and the Armo players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Armo booed when Peretti was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 30 match minutes in a wonderful position. Felice Bassani didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Achille Reggianini in the 31st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Dennis Baratta prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Achille Reggianini's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Dennis Baratta read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 44th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Achille Reggianini in the 46th minute of play forced Peretti's goalkeeper Dennis Baratta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
