Stadio Argate Brianz
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Beppe Addari took the kick off in the first half of the match. Carlo Riccardi kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. 8 minutes into the match, Argate Brianza's Beppe Addari sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Antonello Prandini narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Beppe Addari was extremely unlucky when he, in the 9th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. 12 minutes into the match, Mandria FC's goal looked a bit too open when Beppe Addari came free, but Antonello Prandini reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alessio Albani's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Edoardo Macchia read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 14th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Beppe Addari managed to get in a good position for a shot. Argate Brianza's supporters rose to their feet, but Beppe Addari was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Antonello Prandini breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 23rd minute, Carmine Foddis left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mandria FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Mandria FC's Edmondo Campoli got a good chance for a goal in the 26th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Fortunato Di Gregorio's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Antonello Prandini read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 33rd minute of play. Edoardo Macchia took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alessio Albani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Mandria FC's Carmine Foddis got a free kick in the 37th minute. In the 40th minute, Edmondo Campoli hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Damiano Berardo was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 41st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 46th minute, Carmine Foddis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

After 54 minutes Argate Brianza's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Bianco Tarquini who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Mandria FC's Bianco Tarquini to fire away a dangerous shot which Edoardo Macchia despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Edoardo Macchia showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alessio Albani, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Carmine Foddis got free with Edoardo Macchia in the 65th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Carmine Foddis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Alessio Albani managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mandria FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Alessio Albani was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Edoardo Macchia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Carmine Foddis's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Edoardo Macchia read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 75th minute of play. The supporters of Mandria FC booed when Argate Brianza was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dennis Furino didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 82nd minute, Edmondo Campoli hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Argate Brianza's Damiano Berardo couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Mandria FC. With a little luck, Argate Brianza's Edoardo Macchia got control of the ball when Carmine Foddis tried to sneak it across the goal line. Edmondo Campoli kicked well hit freekick during the 92nd minute of the match. Alessio Albani was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 94th minute. Mandria FC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Carmine Foddis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Edoardo Macchia having to interfere. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Mandria FC eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
