Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Fausto Fioriti made the kick off and thus started the match. 9 minutes into the match, Palestra14's goal looked a bit too open when Davi Lendaa came free, but Frits Heinel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fausto Fioriti fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iosif Tsoleridis having to interfere. In the 20th match minute, Palestra14 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Beppe Dorigatti to maneuver through the defense. Frits Heinel was a little too slow when Davi Lendaa got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 29th minute. The score was now 1-0. 34 minutes into the match, Palestra14's goalkeeper Frits Heinel had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Davi Lendaa. ΑΣΤΡΑΧΑΝ's Iosif Tsoleridis played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cain Vieri in the 38th minute of play. 39 minutes had been played when some careless play by ΑΣΤΡΑΧΑΝ's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Dennis Del Vecchio was slow to take the kick. During this time Palestra14's players had a chance to rest. Palestra14's Dennis Del Vecchio was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Iosif Tsoleridis in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. 44 minutes into the game, Davi Lendaa recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Frits Heinel. Davi Lendaa showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-0. If Cain Vieri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Davi Lendaa to strike the kick off in the second half.

After 76 minutes of play, ΑΣΤΡΑΧΑΝ's Davi Lendaa made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Frits Heinel was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 80th minute, Kleanthis Lianos ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Frits Heinel was frozen by the shot and now it was 5-0. 83 minutes into the match, Palestra14's goal looked a bit too open when Kleanthis Lianos came free, but Frits Heinel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 87th minute, Aureliano Sandalio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Kleanthis Lianos's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Frits Heinel was relentless in the 88th minute of the game. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The ΑΣΤΡΑΧΑΝ fans cheered their team off the field, for while Palestra14 had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
