FIUME IN PIENA
Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ile Manojlovski kicked off to start the match. Emilio Esposito blasted a shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Robert Manevski having to make a save. Djordje Apostolov hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. Atanas Živkov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Ile Manojlovski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 18 minutes into the match, Bojan Daev notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Fiume Veneto's Comunardo Longo. Comunardo Longo was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Atanas Živkov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Robert Manevski took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bruno Rossetti, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 34th minute Ile Manojlovski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Comunardo Longo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Red Bull Club booed when Fiume Veneto was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ercole Ottaviani didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 47th minute, Angel Lazarevski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Red Bull Club's supporters rose to their feet, but Angel Lazarevski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Comunardo Longo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The Fiume Veneto players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Red Bull Club were winning 0-3.

In the 73rd minute, Red Bull Club's Atanas Živkov ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Comunardo Longo.

The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
