Grande Toro
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Eraldo Albertosi got the match started through his kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Alfonso Franco got free with Fabio Tondi in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a rather tough play, TORO's Alfonso Franco got a free kick in the 9th minute. Alfonso Bernardini's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fabio Tondi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 12th minute of play. 16 minutes into the match, Anthony Pelati notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of TORO's Alvaro Peca. Alvaro Peca was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 23 minutes into the match, Anthony Pelati had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alvaro Peca. TORO's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anthony Pelati was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Alfonso Franco fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fabio Tondi having to interfere. When CG Studenti's Anthony Pelati in the 31st minute got a chance for a shot 31st didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye TORO's goalie prevented a goal. Anthony Pelati received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Alvaro Peca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 34th minute, Filippo Ippoliti hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alfonso Bernardini was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 41st minute. TORO's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Fabrizio Rinaldi hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. Alfonso Bernardini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fabio Tondi having to interfere. If Alfonso Franco had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Alfonso Franco in the 48th play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Fabio Tondi kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 1-2 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole.

In the 56th minute Alfonso Franco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabio Tondi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fabio Tondi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alfonso Bernardini, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. CG Studenti's Fabio Tondi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alfonso Bernardini in the 60th minute of play. Alfonso Bernardini sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Alfonso Franco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Fabio Tondi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fabio Tondi came out of the goal in the 72nd minute to try and stop a shot by TORO's Alfonso Bernardini. But to his dismay, Alfonso Bernardini quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. After 76 minutes, Beppe Ramoser mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the TORO and the CG Studenti players grew even worse after the yellow card. Beppe Ramoser kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. CG Studenti's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Anthony Pelati in the 82nd minute. Armin Fiordelisi made a great header on CG Studenti's corner, it was just that TORO's Alvaro Peca managed to reach the ball for a save. Alfonso Franco scored 3-2 in the 87th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Fabio Tondi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When Fabrizio Rinaldi fell near the penalty area in the 90th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored CG Studenti's protests and gave Fabrizio Rinaldi a yellow card for diving instead. Filippo Ippoliti kicked well hit freekick during the 95th minute of the match. With a little luck, TORO's Alvaro Peca got control of the ball when Anthony Pelati tried to sneak it across the goal line. TORO were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of CG Studenti for a fine match.
