Spectators: 178 (Terracing: 134, Seating: 41, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Fabiano Del Papa made the kick off which started today's match. Alfredo Lemma could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 7th minute of the match, but Angelo Tacco made a huge save. 10 minutes into the match, AC Collins's goal looked a bit too open when Beppe Di Piazza came free, but Cristoforo Giacomini reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alfredo Lemma recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Aldo Abete fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Calenzano's protests and gave Aldo Abete a yellow card for diving instead. After 33 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Calenzano! If Alvaro Aloisi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ennio Catena kicked well hit freekick during the 38th minute of the match. Dave Marrone came free with the goalkeeper in the 44th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Angelo Tacco could save by the left post. Angelo Tacco was a little too slow when Fabiano Del Papa got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 47th minute. The score was now 1-0. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Beppe Di Piazza to make the kick off. In the 60th minute the ball was on its way in behind Calenzano's goalkeeper Angelo Tacco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The supporters of AC Collins booed when Calenzano was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aldo Abete didn't get a good kick on the ball. AC Collins made a substitution. Alberigo Rosa replaced Ferdinando Tamburrini. AC Collins's Cesare Trentini was substituted for Carlo Martano. In the 65th minute, Aldo Abete hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Angelo Tacco showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fabiano Del Papa, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. In the 74th minute, Alfonso Vittorio sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Calenzano's Angelo Tacco didn't even have to move. When Cesare Trentini came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the AC Collins 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 Cesare Trentini couldn't finish the play. Calenzano's Angelo Tacco played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fabiano Del Papa in the 80th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Alfredo Lemma managed to get in a good position for a shot. AC Collins's supporters rose to their feet, but Alfredo Lemma was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Angelo Tacco breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 88th minute, Beppe Di Piazza got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After a rather tough play, Calenzano's Alvaro Aloisi got a free kick in the 91st minute. In the 93rd minute Alfredo Lemma shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Angelo Tacco saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Angelo Tacco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alfredo Lemma, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
