Stadio Baranzate
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Adriano Di Giulio made the kick off which started today's match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fedele Pantani got free with Flavio Pittelli in the 4th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Armando Pittelli blasted a shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Fabio Marini having to make a save. Fedele Pantani might have been able to make a better finish in the 8th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Flavio Pittelli. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Fedele Pantani ran back to his position shaking his head. Felice Pasin charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Felice Pasin the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Felice Pasin kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. Adriano Di Giulio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Flavio Pittelli tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Adriano Di Giulio hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. In the 27th minute Adriano Di Giulio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Flavio Pittelli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Emanuele Scudieri fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored San Carlo's protests and gave Emanuele Scudieri a yellow card for diving instead. In the 28th match minute, San Carlo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Emanuele Scudieri to maneuver through the defense. In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind San Carlo's goalkeeper Flavio Pittelli, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adriano Di Giulio in the 33rd minute of play forced San Carlo's goalkeeper Flavio Pittelli to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Fedele Pantani's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Flavio Pittelli read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 34th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Baranzate's Adriano Di Giulio got a free kick in the 35th minute. Flavio Pittelli was out of position in the 46 minute of play, and Adriano Di Giulio capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Adriano Di Giulio really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Federico Manfredi to make the kick off. If Adriano Di Giulio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in San Carlo's zone, Adriano Di Giulio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Flavio Pittelli came out of the goal and Adriano Di Giulio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Fedele Pantani sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Federico Manfredi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Federico Manfredi received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Fabio Marini came out and tried to block the shot, but Federico Manfredi slotted it home off the left post making it 1-2 in the 66th minute. If Fedele Pantani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 1-3 became the score in the 78th minute when Federico Manfredi elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. After 92 played minutes Federico Manfredi rounded Baranzate's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-4.
