The referee ignored Pra AFC's protests and gave Amerigo Mattei a yellow card for diving instead. After 63 played minutes Pra AFC got a freekick which was hit by Amerigo Mattei. Christian Salvagnin's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Francesco Dionisi firmly grabbed it by the left post.
