Dejan Cumbo made an important save on a dangerous shot by Irinel Borăscu in the 2nd minute. Emiliano Firmani had several of the Seraċini Għawdxin's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 5 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Dejan Cumbo as he didn't even see the shot coming.

Godwin Spagnol helped the player get up and apologised. After having played for 94 minutes, Amlawdd Clifford managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Eurospeed Asti's supporters crossed their fingers, but Amlawdd Clifford was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Eurospeed Asti fully deserved thier win.
