Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alvaro Aloisi took the kick off in the first half of the match. After having played for 2 minutes, Fabrizio Eboli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. XMAS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Fabrizio Eboli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Calenzano's Alvaro Aloisi was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 6th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. The supporters of Calenzano booed when XMAS was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alessandro Vettori didn't get a good kick on the ball. Anfilogino Traini struck a weak shot in the 10th minute. Concetto Garibaldi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Calenzano. 14 minutes into the match, XMAS's goalkeeper Concetto Garibaldi had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Anfilogino Traini. In the 17th minute, Ennio De Nardis left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The XMAS fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. In the 21st minute, Enzo Alfonsi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Concetto Bani was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. In the 24th minute, Ennio De Nardis ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Concetto Bani was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. In the 27th minute Enzo Alfonsi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Concetto Bani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Enzo Alfonsi kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. After 30 played minutes XMAS got a freekick which was hit by Fabrizio Eboli. 43 minutes into the game, Enzo Alfonsi cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-4. Concetto Bani was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-4 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 Ennio De Nardis to make the kick off. 50 minutes into the game, Antonio Gizzi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Calenzano's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave XMAS the free kick. After a rather tough play, Calenzano's Antonio Gizzi got a free kick in the 50th minute. A collision led to XMAS getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Alessandro Vettori hit a great ball. Anfilogino Traini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Concetto Garibaldi having to interfere. Alvaro Aloisi scored 2-4 in the 81st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Concetto Garibaldi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 85th minute, Fortunato Pugliese hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Fabrizio Eboli struck a weak shot in the 90th minute. Concetto Bani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for XMAS. XMAS's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
