Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ermanno Pelliccia took the kick off in the first half of the match. After having played for 9 minutes, Davide Cirone managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. None AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Davide Cirone was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Epitaffio's Attilio Lavatrice got a free kick in the 11th minute. 18 minutes into the match, Epitaffio's goal looked a bit too open when Felice Lemma came free, but Armin Pierdomenico reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 19 minutes into the match, None AFC's goalkeeper Domenico Cesare had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Filippo De Vecchis. Filippo De Vecchis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute.

Filippo De Vecchis succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 25th playminute.
