Alvise Franceschini sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After a rather tough play, Marina Di Ravenna's Anthony Di Pasquale got a free kick in the 65th minute. Alvise Franceschini received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Ferdinando Giannotti tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Ennio Raimondi fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Marina Di Ravenna's protests and gave Ennio Raimondi a yellow card for diving instead.

Alvise Franceschini struck a weak shot in the 83rd minute. Ferdinando Giannotti didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Collinello AFC.
