After a rather tough play, Casinazzo's Camillo Pasinati got a free kick in the 25th minute. Anselmo Franceschelli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

FC Cordino's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Casinazzo the free kick. Fausto Proietti kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 34th minute of the game. One of Casinazzo:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of FC Cordino:s goal.

Alessio Milanese sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Alessio Milanese was the one to do the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Alessio Milanese notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of FC Cordino's Antonio Petroni. Antonio Petroni was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 55th minute Arrigo Vespa suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. Alvise Moretti's late challenge caught a Casinazzo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alvise Moretti helped the player get up and apologised. In the 56th minute, Alvise Moretti hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Bernardo Baggio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Casinazzo's Alessio Milanese in the 74th minute got a chance for a shot 74th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye FC Cordino's goalie prevented a goal. The audience was convinced that Bernardo Baggio's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cosimo Ramundo was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. Antonio Petroni took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alessio Milanese, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 96 minutes, Anselmo Franceschelli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Cordino's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anselmo Franceschelli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
