Stadio Misano Adriat
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Antonello Pesce kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Biagio Liberati had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alessio Di Marco. Misano Adriatico FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Biagio Liberati was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Alessio Di Marco showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Biagio Liberati, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. If Antonio Addari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After a rather tough play, Misano Adriatico FC's Davide Desiderio got a free kick in the 77th minute. The long shot by Emanuele Helfer in the 79th minute really tested Alessio Di Marco's skills.
