Atletico Milazzo's Anfilogino Spinosa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Şahin Israfilov in the 9th minute of play. When Armin Petricca fell near the penalty area in the 13th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Atletico Milazzo's protests and gave Armin Petricca a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Phenomena booed when Atletico Milazzo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 14 match minutes in a wonderful position. Armin Petricca didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Damiano Tristezza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
