Stadio Bardassano
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ferruccio Giampietro made the kick off which started today's match. 10 minutes into the match, Bardassano's goal looked a bit too open when Alexander Tristezza came free, but Concetto Giandomenico reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 13 minutes into the game, Cosimo Miccoli was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pettogállico's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bardassano the free kick. After 12 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Pettogállico! An unexpectedly hard shot by Eugenio Canzano in the 18th minute of play forced Pettogállico's goalkeeper Cosimo De Palma to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Bernardo Borel during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Bardassano booed when Pettogállico was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bernardo Borel didn't get a good kick on the ball. Eugenio Canzano had several of the Pettogállico's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 21 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Cosimo De Palma as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 26th match minute, Bardassano was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Carter Buffone to maneuver through the defense. Cosimo De Palma made a fantastic save in the 42nd minute, when Flavio Abbagnale sent off a good shot on target. In the 43rd minute, Flavio Abbagnale fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Eugenio Canzano to strike the kick off in the second half. Cosimo De Palma came out of the goal in the 53rd minute to try and stop a shot by Bardassano's Eugenio Canzano. But to his dismay, Eugenio Canzano quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-0. Eugenio Canzano received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Cosimo De Palma tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Alexander Tristezza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Flavio Abbagnale recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Cosimo De Palma showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eugenio Canzano, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. Cristoforo Vida charged in rather forcefully in the 70th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cristoforo Vida the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Pettogállico getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Cristoforo Vida hit a great ball. In the 73rd match minute, Pettogállico was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bernardo Borel to maneuver through the defense. Bernardo Palleschi, 73 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Andrea Pani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Cosimo De Palma tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
