Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Cristoforo Ragusa started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Alvaro Canuto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Amos Vianello having to interfere. Amos Vianello showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alvaro Canuto, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. Alvaro Canuto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 14 minutes into the match, Favaro Veneto's Eugenio Trotta sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Amos Vianello narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Favaro Veneto's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Alvaro Canuto in the 15th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Real Stars's goalie and right to Concetto Simonetti. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Real Stars's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. In the 21st minute, Alvaro Canuto made a precise shot to the right of Amos Vianello. Real Stars's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. In the 24th match minute, Real Stars was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Elia Di Palma to maneuver through the defense. After 24 played minutes, Favaro Veneto's Alvaro Canuto shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Amos Vianello 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 Favaro Veneto reached it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alvaro Canuto in the 27th minute of play forced Real Stars's goalkeeper Amos Vianello to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Danilo Urtzi came out of the goal in the 29th minute to try and stop a shot by Real Stars's Cristoforo Ragusa. But to his dismay, Cristoforo Ragusa quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Favaro Veneto's Danilo Urtzi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cristoforo Ragusa in the 34th minute of play. In the 36th minute, Cristoforo Ragusa 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. Adriano Schiavo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Amos Vianello tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Adriano Schiavo made a kick off. Cristiano Treglia might have been able to make a better finish in the 53rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Danilo Urtzi. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cristiano Treglia ran back to his position shaking his head. Cristoforo Ragusa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Fedele Natalucci kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. The audience thought it was a sure goal in the 60th minute, when Favaro Veneto's Alvaro Canuto after having done a great run through the defense got himself free with Amos Vianello in Real Stars's goal and fired away a shot, but it missed the goal by a fraction of an inch. A collision led to Favaro Veneto getting a freekick after 65 minutes play. Concetto Simonetti hit a great ball. Favaro Veneto's Adriano Schiavo came free and shot a quick shot against goal 71 minutes in the game, fortunately Amos Vianello had problems saving as it came toward the left post. In the 79th match minute, Real Stars was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ernesto Di Francesco to maneuver through the defense. Favaro Veneto made a substitution. Davide Rullo replaced Alessandro Sampo. Ernesto Di Francesco hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. The supporters of Real Stars booed when Favaro Veneto was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 84 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ferruccio Pili didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Eugenio Trotta had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Amos Vianello made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eugenio Trotta in the 95th minute of play. Favaro Veneto succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Real Stars had controlled the match.
