The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

Aldo Cesare held his arms out in dispair when he, after a nice solo performance in the 49th minute, finished the attack by shooting the ball on the wrong side of the right post. The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Davide Cicchetti to strike the kick off in the second half. Concetto Galante received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Beppe Chiappini tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Linate AFC's Francesco Proia got a free kick in the 57th minute. 61 minutes into the match, Linate AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Aldo Cesare came free, but Beppe Chiappini reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Donato Marcon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Davide Cicchetti recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 69th minute Davide Cicchetti shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Filippo Pavlu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Concetto Galante had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 80 minutes into the match, Linate AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Concetto Galante came free, but Beppe Chiappini reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Linate AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Donato Marcon was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Filippo Pavlu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 93 minutes into the game, Cellatica's Francesco Lo Iacono nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Beppe Chiappini made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-2. Concetto Galante struck a weak shot in the 96th minute. Beppe Chiappini didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cellatica.
