Stadio Briamasco
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bernardo Gaspari made the kick off which started today's match. A hard shot 3 in the game by Alexander Labate from a close distance when the talented Amedeo Sammartano managed to make a qualified save. Laganadi's players were relieved. 5 minutes into the match, Laganadi's goal looked a bit too open when Alessandro Polito came free, but Amedeo Sammartano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Dave Ciccarelli kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. After 11 minutes of play, Laganadi's Bernardo Gaspari made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ferdinando Cameli was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a defensive mix-up in Furie Bianche's zone, Bernardo Gaspari stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ferdinando Cameli came out of the goal and Bernardo Gaspari tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Laganadi's Bernardo Gaspari in the 18th minute got a chance for a shot 18th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Furie Bianche's goalie prevented a goal. Furie Bianche's Ferdinando Cameli played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bernardo Gaspari in the 21st minute of play. Alexander Labate's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Amedeo Sammartano read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 32nd minute of play. Alexander Labate received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Amedeo Sammartano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Furie Bianche booed when Laganadi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 41 match minutes in a wonderful position. Achille Basile didn't get a good kick on the ball. Donato Fanelli kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match. Aldo Cruciani, 45 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After 46 played minutes Laganadi got a freekick which was hit by Dave Ciccarelli.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Alessandro Polito stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Alessandro Polito sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Amedeo Sammartano showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alexander Labate in the 70th minute of the match. After having played for 77 minutes, Dino Martano managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Laganadi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Dino Martano was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 79th minute Bernardo Gaspari shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ferdinando Cameli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Dino Martano sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ercole Borromeo hit a great freekick 81 minutes into the match. Dino Martano's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Ferdinando Cameli firmly grabbed it by the left post. Furie Bianche's defense didn't have a chance, in the 83rd minute, when Bernardo Gaspari scored to the left of an out of position Ferdinando Cameli, making the score, 0-3. If Alexander Labate had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Amedeo Sammartano showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alexander Labate, who was totally free with the ball in the 95th minute. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Laganadi eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
