Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ciccio Di Michele took the kick off in the first half of the match. Pianoro's Anthony Della Francesca proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 4th minute of the match, managed to save Pianoro from getting a goal against them. The Pontelagoscuro AFC fans' excitement grew in the 6th match minute when Pontelagoscuro AFC's Comunardo Casale looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal.

After a rather tough play, Pontelagoscuro AFC's Corrado Cannavacciuolo got a free kick in the 10th minute. After 11 played minutes, Pianoro's Dario Benarrivo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ettore De Laurentiis 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 Pianoro reached it. 13 minutes into the game, Comunardo Casale lined in a short shot 2-0 behind a frustrated Anthony Della Francesca. Ciccio Di Michele might have been able to make a better finish in the 20th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ettore De Laurentiis. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ciccio Di Michele ran back to his position shaking his head. Alberto Pallini recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute.

Bruno Piscopo hit a great ball. Ciro Pennetta sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
