Demetrio Piscopo received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Ferruccio Giolo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Concetto Di Natale charged in rather forcefully in the 5th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Concetto Di Natale the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.
