Cristiano Melis showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ernesto Fallito, who was totally free with the ball in the 7th minute. When Ettore Campana, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 9 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal.

Frank Rocchi scored 2-2 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Cristiano Melis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Frank Rocchi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Artallo FC were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
