Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Camillo Salerni took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Ennio Cacciatore showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alessio Ferraresi, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute.
