In the 29th minute Emiliano Firmani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amos Valcareggi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fabiano Foni's late challenge caught a Zurlo Team's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Eurospeed Asti's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Attilio Mammarella was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. 89 minutes into the match, Attilio Mammarella notched a goal, 2-2, to the right of Eurospeed Asti's Mattia Perin. Mattia Perin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
