Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Emilio Scarpone kicked off to start the match. After 7 played minutes, Legnano FC's Anfilogino Cesare shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Fortunato Fioriti 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 Legnano FC reached it. Emilio Scarpone recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 13th minute the ball was on its way in behind ISORELLE's goalkeeper Fortunato Fioriti, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With his leg Federico Cirigliano managed to avoid a goal in the 15thth minute, when ISORELLE's Comunardo Beattie fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. ISORELLE's Fortunato Fioriti played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arrigo Taccone in the 25th minute of play. Comunardo Beattie had several of the Legnano FC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 27 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 1-1 score and a disappointed Federico Cirigliano as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 30th minute Emilio Scarpone suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. When Ernesto Losito fell near the penalty area in the 30th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ISORELLE's protests and gave Ernesto Losito a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to ISORELLE getting a freekick after 31 minutes play. Ernesto Losito hit a great ball. Frank Travaglini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Federico Cirigliano having to interfere. If Ferdinando Ragazzoni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The wind increased when Frank Travaglini made the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frank Travaglini in the 53rd minute of play forced Legnano FC's goalkeeper Federico Cirigliano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Comunardo Beattie recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 54th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. A collision led to ISORELLE getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Armin Bernardi hit a great ball. Arrigo Taccone blasted a shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Fortunato Fioriti having to make a save. After 68 minutes, Francesco Mariano mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Legnano FC and the ISORELLE players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Legnano FC's Francesco Mariano got a free kick in the 69th minute. Federico Cirigliano didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Frank Travaglini went, in the 72nd minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. Frank Travaglini sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Arrigo Taccone sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Comunardo Beattie blasted a shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Federico Cirigliano having to make a save. Legnano FC's Francesco Mariano got a good chance for a goal in the 86th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ferdinando Ragazzoni in the 91st minute of play forced Legnano FC's goalkeeper Federico Cirigliano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. For all the effort they put into the match, the Legnano FC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for ISORELLE.
