Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Bernardo Di Toro took the kick off in the first half of the match. Biagio Coccolone fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cristoforo Labate having to interfere.
