Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bebeto Queirós made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute the ball was on its way in behind ≮王者归来≯Kowloon City's goalkeeper Abcdefghijklmno Vieira De Oliveira, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Amos Colucci came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the A.S. Ian Fenomeni fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Amos Colucci couldn't finish the play. Eugenio Conte fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abcdefghijklmno Vieira De Oliveira having to interfere. After a rather tough play, A.S. Ian Fenomeni's Amos Colucci got a free kick in the 11th minute. Ferruccio Castronovo hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. The supporters of ≮王者归来≯Kowloon City booed when A.S. Ian Fenomeni was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anthony Tonon didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Miguel--Angel Sigurdardottir fell near the penalty area in the 17th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ≮王者归来≯Kowloon City's protests and gave Miguel--Angel Sigurdardottir a yellow card for diving instead. In the 20th minute, Anthony Tonon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 22 minutes A.S. Ian Fenomeni's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Joélson das Neves who took care of the corner kick. A nice corner shot did that Joélson das Neves got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Antonio Simone quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Bebeto Queirós struck a weak shot in the 27th minute. Abcdefghijklmno Vieira De Oliveira didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for A.S. Ian Fenomeni. After 34 played minutes Miguel--Angel Sigurdardottir rounded A.S. Ian Fenomeni's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-0. If Eugenio Conte had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.
