Spectators: 147 (Terracing: 111, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 2) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Damian Precioso kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, XMAS's goalkeeper Dennis Urbani had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Damian Precioso. Piratas FC's David Cordarius managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Alessandro Vettori in the 7 minute of the game. Victorino Gaufred took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Enzo Alfonsi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 14 minutes into the match, Piratas FC's goal looked a bit too open when Enzo Alfonsi came free, but Victorino Gaufred reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 15 played minutes XMAS got a freekick which was hit by Comunardo Paoletti. Damian Precioso scored 1-0 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Dennis Urbani, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Dennis Urbani made an important save on a dangerous shot by Damian Precioso in the 22nd minute. Piratas FC's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by David Cordarius in the 23rd minute. Alessandro Vettori made in the 25th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Florian Talone however managed to control. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind XMAS's goalkeeper Dennis Urbani, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 28th minute, Fabrizio Cremonese managed to get in a good position for a shot. XMAS's supporters rose to their feet, but Fabrizio Cremonese was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Victorino Gaufred breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Damian Precioso had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 40 minutes of play, Piratas FC's Damian Precioso made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Dennis Urbani was left in no man's land by his defense there!

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Enzo Alfonsi was the one to do the kick off.

Dennis Urbani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alvaro Martxot, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 66 minutes into the match, XMAS's goal looked a bit too open when Damian Precioso came free, but Dennis Urbani reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for XMAS. 78 minutes into the match, Damian Precioso had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Dennis Urbani. XMAS's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Damian Precioso was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 4-0.
