Damiano Sforza sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alfredo Delle Donne in the 6th minute of play forced Gaione's goalkeeper Eraldo Aversano to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Damiano Sforza who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 33rdth minute tested the skills of Eraldo Aversano when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

Amos Pacella received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Ferdinando Spano tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 44th minute, Damiano Sforza 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. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Amos Pacella to strike the kick off in the second half. Alessio Giordani's late challenge caught a Gaione's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alessio Giordani helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Gaione booed when Racing di Potenza was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 51 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alessio Giordani didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Ermanno Boninsegna hit a great freekick 80 minutes into the match. Ermanno Boninsegna charged in rather forcefully in the 85th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.
