Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) An unexpectedly hard shot by Adriano Chioda in the 4th minute of play forced OBLIUS's goalkeeper Cristoforo Bondi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cristoforo Bondi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fortunato Malinconico in the 8th minute of play.

After having played for 16 minutes, Ettore Scoca managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mensa AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ettore Scoca was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Anselmo Cugini took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bruno Giuliani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Claudio De Fina struck a weak shot in the 24th minute.

In the 81st minute of the game, Florian Federici landed unfortunately after trying to head the ball, and pulled a muscle in the back, so badly that he had to leave the field.

The referee ignored OBLIUS's protests and gave Bruno Giuliani a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, OBLIUS's Bruno Giuliani got a free kick in the 82nd minute.
