Stadio Nicola
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

In the 11th minute Carlo Palone shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dave Tenaglia saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Carlo Filice didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Comunardo Como went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Dave Tenaglia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Donato Di Tommaso in the 17th minute of the match.

Carlo Filice didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Show Must Go On !.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Carlo Palone was the one to do the kick off. Carlo Filice showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Emiliano Mori in the 52nd minute of the match. If Carlo Palone had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Emiliano Mori might have been able to make a better finish in the 60th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Carlo Filice. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Emiliano Mori ran back to his position shaking his head. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Emiliano Mori managed to get in a good position for a shot. Show Must Go On !'s supporters rose to their feet, but Emiliano Mori was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Carlo Filice breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Comunardo Como might have been able to make a better finish in the 67th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Carlo Filice. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Comunardo Como ran back to his position shaking his head. With a little luck, Show Must Go On !'s Dave Tenaglia got control of the ball when Damiano Polo tried to sneak it across the goal line.

Alvaro Alati 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. Emiliano Mori recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 82nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Carlo Filice made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Comunardo Como in the 87th minute of play.
