Stadio Muratello
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alexander Di Monte took the kick off in the first half of the match. Elia Di Federico sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
