Spectators: 7538 (Terracing: 5655, Seating: 1733, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Jesus Guillelmo made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd match minute, Furia Albiceleste was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Isaias Havier to maneuver through the defense. Biagio Gentile hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. After some careless play in the Furia Albiceleste defense, Antonello Melone kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Astor Eleazar. The Furia Albiceleste fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Astor Eleazar should have stopped the shot. Jesus Guillelmo in the 13thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Fabrizio Massa, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. 16 minutes into the match, Armin Trivelli had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Astor Eleazar. Furia Albiceleste's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Armin Trivelli was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Astor Eleazar came out of the goal in the 23rd minute to try and stop a shot by PomeziaRamblers's Ciro Mastrocola. But to his dismay, Ciro Mastrocola quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-3. Fabrizio Massa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Jesus Guillelmo went, in the 34th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-4 was the resulting score. 38 minutes into the game, Ciro Mastrocola cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-5. Astor Eleazar was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. PomeziaRamblers's Fabrizio Massa played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jesus Guillelmo in the 43rd minute of play. Fabrizio Massa was a little too slow when Norberto Rexino got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 44th minute. The score was now 2-5. Disappointed in the 2-5 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Armin Trivelli to make the kick off. 56 minutes into the match, PomeziaRamblers's goal looked a bit too open when Jesus Guillelmo came free, but Fabrizio Massa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With 57 minutes on the clock, Cesare Di Palma commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. The referee gave Furia Albiceleste a penalty, 58 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Sebastian Neto, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of PomeziaRamblers's Fabrizio Massa. 3-5. Fabrizio Massa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Norberto Rexino in the 63rd minute of the match. In the 69thth minute of the game Jesus Guillelmo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but PomeziaRamblers's Fabrizio Massa was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Jesus Guillelmo took the ball and in the 73 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fabrizio Massa. Fabrizio Massa dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-5. If Sebastian Neto had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Ciro Mastrocola came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the PomeziaRamblers 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 Ciro Mastrocola couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ciro Mastrocola in the 92nd minute of play forced Furia Albiceleste's goalkeeper Astor Eleazar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 93rd minute, Antonello Melone hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 98th minute, Jesus Guillelmo 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. Furia Albiceleste were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
