Stadio II° INCIS
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Donato De Bonis took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in SQUADRA IN ORBITA's zone, Achille Fulgenzi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Aurelio Monti came out of the goal and Achille Fulgenzi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Donato De Bonis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 9th minute, Achille Cattaneo hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 13th minute, Daniele Pantalone got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Ettore Felice recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Donato De Bonis came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Seguro FC 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 Donato De Bonis couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Achille Fulgenzi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Seguro FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Achille Fulgenzi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Aurelio Monti breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. SQUADRA IN ORBITA's Daniele Pantalone got a good chance for a goal in the 23rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Cristiano Sergi made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ettore Felice in the 24th minute. Camillo Franceschi charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Camillo Franceschi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 25th match minute, Seguro FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Camillo Franceschi to maneuver through the defense. 27 minutes into the game, Daniele Pantalone recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Cristiano Sergi.

After 33 minutes of play, Seguro FC's Achille Fulgenzi made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Aurelio Monti was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some careless play in the SQUADRA IN ORBITA defense, Donato De Bonis kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Aurelio Monti. The SQUADRA IN ORBITA fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Aurelio Monti should have stopped the shot. In the 42nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Seguro FC's goalkeeper Cristiano Sergi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Daniele Pantalone made the kick off in the second half. When Angelo Andreoli fell near the penalty area in the 52nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SQUADRA IN ORBITA's protests and gave Angelo Andreoli a yellow card for diving instead. After 52 played minutes SQUADRA IN ORBITA got a freekick which was hit by Angelo Andreoli. The audience was convinced that Ettore Felice's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Cristiano Sergi was relentless in the 57th minute of the game. With 62 minutes on the clock, Fedele Taraborrelli commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in SQUADRA IN ORBITA fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 62nd minute. Penalty! In the 64th minute, Seguro FC got a penalty, and Edmondo Laudadio placed the ball unsaveable into goal, by the right post. Cristiano Sergi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ettore Felice, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. After 78 played minutes SQUADRA IN ORBITA got a freekick which was hit by Achille Danza. The nice shot from Achille Fulgenzi in the 82ndth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Aurelio Monti had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Donato De Bonis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aurelio Monti having to interfere. If Donato De Bonis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 96 minutes of play, Seguro FC's Achille Fulgenzi made it 1-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Aurelio Monti was left in no man's land by his defense there! The SQUADRA IN ORBITA fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Seguro FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
