Spectators: 162 (Terracing: 122, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The nice shot from Damiano Rosato in the 5thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Ciro Del Vecchio had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Alfredo Scafati kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. In the 8th minute, Aldo Salemme ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ettore Franco was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. If Anfilogino Zico had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Anfilogino Zico managed to get in a good position for a shot. Villa Gordiani's supporters rose to their feet, but Anfilogino Zico was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ettore Franco breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 36 minutes into the match, Sconvols United's Carmine Gagliano sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ciro Del Vecchio narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Damiano Rosato in the 39thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal.

Damiano Rosato took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ciro Del Vecchio. Ciro Del Vecchio dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-1. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Anfilogino Zico to strike the kick off in the second half. Ciro Del Vecchio made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Damiano Rosato in the 54th minute of play.

When Sconvols United's Damiano Rosato in the 76th minute got a chance for a shot 76th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Villa Gordiani's goalie prevented a goal. In the 87th minute Anfilogino Zico shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ettore Franco saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 91 minutes into the match, Villa Gordiani's goal looked a bit too open when Alfredo Scafati came free, but Ciro Del Vecchio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Carmine Gagliano struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Ciro Del Vecchio didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sconvols United. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
