Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Bernardo Di Luca took the kick off in the first half of the match. Alessio Firmani came free with the goalkeeper in the 4th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Antonio Formaggio could save by the left post. Niubb Team's Antonio Formaggio played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fausto Coccolone in the 5th minute of play. Bernardo Di Luca took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fulvio Colangelo.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Fausto Coccolone was the one to do the kick off.

Antonio Formaggio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alessio Firmani, who was totally free with the ball in the 59th minute.

Fausto Coccolone took the ball and in the 62 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Antonio Formaggio.
