Stadio Gabbro
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) When Carter Frabetti came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Laipacco fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Carter Frabetti couldn't finish the play. Dennis Fagnani showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Carter Frabetti, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. Diego Battisti recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Emiliano Mirto took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alvise Papa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 14 minutes into the match, Laipacco's goalkeeper Emiliano Mirto had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Diego Battisti. In the 17th minute of the match, Alvise Papa tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Emiliano Mirto saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. 21 minutes into the game, Anselmo Giammarino was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gabbro's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Laipacco the free kick. In the 21st minute, Anselmo Giammarino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 22 played minutes, Laipacco's Carmine Tiberio shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Dennis Fagnani 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 Laipacco reached it. After 23 minutes, Ercole Giovannelli mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Laipacco and the Gabbro players grew even worse after the yellow card. The audience was convinced that Carter Frabetti's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dennis Fagnani was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Laipacco's zone, Diego Battisti stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Emiliano Mirto came out of the goal and Diego Battisti tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Alfredo Casadei charged in rather forcefully in the 34th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Alfredo Casadei the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Alfredo Casadei kicked well hit freekick during the 35th minute of the match. If Carter Frabetti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When the match clock showed 38 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Alessandro Sampo sped through Gabbro's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Dennis Fagnani. Dennis Fagnani showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alessandro Sampo in the 45th minute of the match.

51 minutes into the match, Laipacco's goal looked a bit too open when Alvise Papa came free, but Emiliano Mirto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
