Spectators: 157 (Terracing: 118, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Anfilogino Scrima kicked off to start the match.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Enzo Alfonsi to strike the kick off in the second half. Fabrizio Cremonese sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Fabrizio Cremonese took the ball and in the 53 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Emiliano Troilo. Emiliano Troilo dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. In the 57th minute Anfilogino Scrima shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Donato Cirelli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 60 minutes into the match, Cacciola's goalkeeper Emiliano Troilo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Florian Talone. Florian Talone had several of the Cacciola's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 67 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 1-3 score and a disappointed Emiliano Troilo as he didn't even see the shot coming. Fabrizio Cremonese received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 72nd minute. Emiliano Troilo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 75 minutes into the match, Fabrizio Cremonese dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Emiliano Troilo, 1-4.

Ferruccio Antonioni kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. Alessandro Vettori was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 82nd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The supporters of XMAS booed when Cacciola was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 83 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fausto Santangelo didn't get a good kick on the ball.

Enzo Alfonsi who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 95thth minute tested the skills of Emiliano Troilo when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The Cacciola fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. XMAS were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
