After 7 minutes, Carlo Maiorano made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Rotta AFC's Emiliano Braccia tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot.

An unexpected shot in the 20th minute by Amedeo Benarrivo got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.

Alvaro Lucentini showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Anthony Giusto in the 75th minute of the match. 96 minutes into the match, Macherio's goal looked a bit too open when Amedeo Benarrivo came free, but Alvaro Lucentini reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
