Stadio delle Saline
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Alex Melone started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Amerigo Di Francesco's late challenge caught a Tropical Team's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Amerigo Di Francesco helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Ravagnese AFC's Amerigo Di Francesco got a free kick in the 8th minute. When Ravagnese AFC's Dario Paolucci in the 14th minute got a chance for a shot 14th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Tropical Team's goalie prevented a goal. After 15 played minutes Tropical Team got a freekick which was hit by Aurelio Arcangeli. Ernesto Palladino didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Dario Paolucci went, in the 20th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. If Alex Melone had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 28 minutes into the match, Tropical Team's goal looked a bit too open when Daniele Di Mascio came free, but Ernesto Palladino reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 31st minute, Dario Paolucci managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Ernesto Palladino breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Bruno Antenucci hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. 33 minutes into the match, Dario Paolucci notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Tropical Team's Ernesto Palladino.

When Daniele Di Mascio came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Ravagnese AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Daniele Di Mascio couldn't finish the play. In the 48th minute, Dario Gulli made a precise shot to the right of Anthony Corrente. Ravagnese AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Dario Paolucci to make the kick off. After 58 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle.
