League Play-Off

Roata Rossi
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alfredo Marini took the kick off in the first half of the match. Emanuele Grilli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Carmine Chiavetta, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 11th minute, Carmine Chiavetta 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. In the 14th minute, Carmine Chiavetta made a precise shot to the right of Emanuele Grilli. Felino AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. After a defensive mix-up in Felino AFC's zone, Fabiano Di Cicco stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Emanuele Grilli came out of the goal and Fabiano Di Cicco tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 21 played minutes Roata Rossi FC got a freekick which was hit by Fabiano Di Cicco. In the 27th minute, Carmine Chiavetta 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. Fabiano Di Cicco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuele Grilli having to interfere. In the 32nd minute Alfredo Marini shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristiano Musacchio saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Alvise Rocco charged in rather forcefully in the 32nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Alvise Rocco the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 32nd minute, Alvise Rocco hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Carmine Chiavetta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Alvise Rocco was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 44 minutes had been played. The supporters of Felino AFC booed when Roata Rossi FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alvise Rocco didn't get a good kick on the ball. Felino AFC's Alfredo Marini got a good chance for a goal in the 46th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Fabiano Di Cicco was the one to do the kick off. Fabiano Di Cicco's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Emanuele Grilli read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 54th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Roata Rossi FC's Anselmo Di Michele got a free kick in the 56th minute.

Emanuele Grilli made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-0. Damiano Ciccarelli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Cristiano Musacchio tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fabiano Di Cicco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emanuele Grilli having to interfere. When Fabiano Di Cicco came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the Roata Rossi FC 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 Fabiano Di Cicco couldn't finish the play. Fabiano Di Cicco scored 4-0 in the 76th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emanuele Grilli, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Roata Rossi FC's Cristiano Musacchio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alfredo Marini in the 79th minute of play. When Davide Anzolin fell near the penalty area in the 80th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Roata Rossi FC's protests and gave Davide Anzolin a yellow card for diving instead. After 80 played minutes Roata Rossi FC got a freekick which was hit by Davide Anzolin.

After a rather tough play, Felino AFC's Fedele Di Palma got a free kick in the 92nd minute. Emanuele Grilli showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fabiano Di Cicco, who was totally free with the ball in the 94th minute. Damiano Ciccarelli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cristiano Musacchio having to interfere.
