Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alberigo Albertini kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the Collesalvetti defense, Armin De Grandis kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Carter Ranieri.

Ferruccio Mucci scored 3-1 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Arturo Gava, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
