Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Alex Bellucci made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 4th minute Alex Bellucci shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alfonso Parente saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Attilio Montini in the 12th minute of play forced Borgo Sabotino's goalkeeper Davide Barbanti to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Alfredo Marcelli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 20thth minute of the game Attilio Montini who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Borgo Sabotino's Davide Barbanti was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Amos Bussi charged in rather forcefully in the 20th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Amos Bussi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Amos Bussi kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. Alex Bellucci might have been able to make a better finish in the 24th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Alfonso Parente. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Alex Bellucci ran back to his position shaking his head. Andrea Tomasso took the ball and in the 27 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Davide Barbanti. Davide Barbanti dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. Alfredo Marcelli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Alfonso Parente tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Alfonso Parente made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Alex Bellucci in the 33rd minute of play. Alfredo Marcelli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 42nd minute, Alex Bellucci 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. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ernesto Cicchinelli during the 45th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Attilio Montini made a kick off. A collision led to Ciampino getting a freekick after 52 minutes play. Ernesto Cicchinelli hit a great ball. 53 minutes into the game, Alex Bellucci recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Alfonso Parente. Alex Bellucci showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1.

After 69 played minutes Ciampino got a freekick which was hit by Fedele Mastrocola. Attilio Montini struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Davide Barbanti didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ciampino. After a defensive mix-up in Ciampino's zone, Alfredo Marcelli stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alfonso Parente came out of the goal and Alfredo Marcelli tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Alfredo Marcelli struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. Alfonso Parente didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Borgo Sabotino. With a little luck, Ciampino's Alfonso Parente got control of the ball when Amos Bussi tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of Borgo Sabotino booed when Ciampino was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cristoforo Rubini didn't get a good kick on the ball. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the Borgo Sabotino players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
