Broom Stadium
Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Donato Di Fazio kicked off to start the match. Camillo Corna's late challenge caught a Broom of the System DA13's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Camillo Corna helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, A.S. Udinese's Camillo Corna got a free kick in the 3rd minute. After 12 minutes of play, A.S. Udinese's Biagio Balestra made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Damiano Mori was left in no man's land by his defense there! Damiano Mori took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Camillo Corna, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match clock showed 16 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Biagio Balestra sped through Broom of the System DA13's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Damiano Mori. A collision led to A.S. Udinese getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. Angelo Di Blasio hit a great ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bianco Iachini got free with Donato Lucidi in the 26th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Broom of the System DA13's Damiano Mori played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Biagio Balestra in the 31st minute of play. In the 32nd minute Biagio Balestra shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Damiano Mori saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Damiano Mori made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Biagio Balestra in the 44th minute of play. After the first half A.S. Udinese were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

A.S. Udinese's Fausto Vani was substituted for Camillo Corna. In the 53rd match minute, A.S. Udinese was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alessandro Grieco to maneuver through the defense. Ciccio Braccia hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. In the 59th minute, A.S. Udinese's Fausto Vani ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Damiano Mori. Damiano Mori yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 0-4. Biagio Balestra's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Damiano Mori read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 63rd minute of play. After 65 played minutes A.S. Udinese got a freekick which was hit by Ciccio Braccia. The supporters of Broom of the System DA13 booed when A.S. Udinese was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Enrico De Simone didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, A.S. Udinese's Enrico De Simone got a free kick in the 68th minute. Donato Di Fazio struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Donato Lucidi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Broom of the System DA13. In the 72nd match minute, A.S. Udinese was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Armin Abbagnale to maneuver through the defense. In the 74th minute, Fausto Vani ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Damiano Mori was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-5. After a rather tough play, Broom of the System DA13's Eugenio Raiola got a free kick in the 76th minute. After 77 played minutes, A.S. Udinese's Enrico De Simone shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Damiano Mori came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in A.S. Udinese reached it. If Armin Abbagnale had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Armin Abbagnale's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Damiano Mori was relentless in the 83rd minute of the game. When Francesco Tundo fell near the penalty area in the 83rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Broom of the System DA13's protests and gave Francesco Tundo a yellow card for diving instead. Francesco Tundo kicked well hit freekick during the 83rd minute of the match. Damiano Mori stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Armin Abbagnale's shot from short distance in the 90th minute. Donato Di Fazio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Donato Lucidi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. A.S. Udinese had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
