After 3 played minutes Velocity Phoenix got a freekick which was hit by Alberigo Scandella. Corlo's Filippo Di Toro got a good chance for a goal in the 4th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Filippo Di Toro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Domenico Angelini came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the Velocity Phoenix fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Domenico Angelini couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Corlo's Francesco Frasca got a free kick in the 19th minute. The supporters of Velocity Phoenix booed when Corlo was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anselmo Di Nunzio didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 25 minutes, Carmine Landolfi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Velocity Phoenix's supporters crossed their fingers, but Carmine Landolfi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Domenico Manzi's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fortunato Santovito read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 36th minute of play. Domenico Manzi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fortunato Santovito having to interfere. Filippo Di Toro sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Filippo Di Toro's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Fortunato Santovito was relentless in the 43rd minute of the game. Fortunato Santovito didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Filippo Di Toro went, in the 44th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Domenico Angelini to make the kick off. The corner ended in Alberigo Scandella almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Corlo's Ernesto Olmi did a great save. 55 minutes into the match, Carmine Landolfi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ernesto Olmi. Corlo's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Carmine Landolfi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. With a little luck, Velocity Phoenix's Fortunato Santovito got control of the ball when Domenico Manzi tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Domenico Manzi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Velocity Phoenix's zone, Filippo Di Toro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Fortunato Santovito came out of the goal and Filippo Di Toro tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cosimo Mascitti kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. Velocity Phoenix's Fortunato Santovito proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 92nd minute of the match, managed to save Velocity Phoenix from getting a goal against them. If Filippo Di Toro had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 94th minute, Cosimo Mascitti hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Corlo were awarded a corner in the 97th minute after Velocity Phoenix's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Corrado Bartolucci took the corner.
