Cona AFC's Fabiano Proia got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 44 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Masi San Giacomo! The goalkeeper, Alessio Pettinelli, was totally fooled by Cona AFC's Christian Franzioni, who 47 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Christian Di Cristofaro made a kick off. Cristoforo Florio recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 59th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Christian Di Cristofaro received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. Arturo Egger tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Masi San Giacomo getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Alessio Granati hit a great ball. Alessio Pettinelli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Christian Franzioni, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Masi San Giacomo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Eugenio Franceschini was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 7-0. After some fancy dribbling in the 98th minute, Davide Di Meo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Masi San Giacomo's supporters rose to their feet, but Davide Di Meo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Arturo Egger breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Cona AFC fully deserved thier win.
