Concetto Bani came out of the goal and Domenico Varglien tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

If Domenico Varglien had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 59th match minute, Zola Predosa FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Domenico Varglien to maneuver through the defense.

Fortunato Pugliese ran back to his position shaking his head. Domenico Varglien sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Anfilogino Graziani hit a great ball. 83 minutes into the match, Fortunato Pugliese notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Zola Predosa FC's Florian Causio. Florian Causio was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Anfilogino Graziani managed to get in a good position for a shot. Calenzano's supporters rose to their feet, but Anfilogino Graziani was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Florian Causio breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Aurelio Ragusa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Concetto Bani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 95thth minute of the game Aurelio Ragusa who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Calenzano's Concetto Bani was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Fabiano Spano struck a weak shot in the 96th minute. Concetto Bani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Zola Predosa FC.
