Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Villa Gordiani's Ove Bergman started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. If Emilio Ferrante had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Emilio Ferrante got free with Iker Casillas in the 4th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 7 minutes into the match, Villa Gordiani's goalkeeper Iker Casillas had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Bernardino Vedillo.

The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 3-1 at half-time.

Villa Gordiani made a substitution. Lia Marquez replaced Arrigo Marrone. Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bernardino Vedillo to make the kick off. Cristoforo Flocco hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Fabrizio Canzano's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fabrizio Manzi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 56th minute of play.

Bernardino Vedillo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iker Casillas having to interfere. 71 minutes into the match, Villa Gordiani's goal looked a bit too open when Pietruzzu Rizzi came free, but Iker Casillas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Edwin 雷冰 hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. In the 79th minute, Pietruzzu Rizzi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Iker Casillas was frozen by the shot and now it was 5-1. PICCOLE PESTI's Secondo Arshavin was substituted for Zhang Xi Yi.

After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Tom Jakobsson managed to get in a good position for a shot. PICCOLE PESTI's supporters rose to their feet, but Tom Jakobsson was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Iker Casillas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 88th minute Ove Bergman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fabrizio Manzi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 92 minutes into the match, Bernardino Vedillo had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Iker Casillas. Villa Gordiani's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bernardino Vedillo was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 7-1.

Pietruzzu Rizzi ran back to his position shaking his head. Iker Casillas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pietruzzu Rizzi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 97 minutes into the game, Bernardino Vedillo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 8-1. Iker Casillas was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. For all the effort they put into the match, the Villa Gordiani players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for PICCOLE PESTI.
