BellaZio were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. After 19 minutes, calzette were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. S. Salisburi did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. 26 minutes into the match, the speedy E. Jiménez Llanes easily outpaced M. Cymański, chipped the keeper and made the score 1 - 0. The visitors almost came back with an equaliser 27 minutes into the match after a good combination down the middle, but when A. Susanu tried to finish the attack, he couldn't deliver the shot hard enough to seriously challenge the keeper. calzette's W. Ochsenkühn refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 36 minutes. The visitors' equaliser seemed sure to come after 36 minutes, following a one on one situation around the left hand side of the goal area, but D. Truszkiewicz got the best of it, blocking the shot from C. Camba. 37 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as A. Susanu struck home from a rebound off the crossbar, following a shot from the right. 39 minutes in, BellaZio's T. Edér received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 1. calzette enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

calzette's S. Salisburi gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 64 minutes with a superb strike from the right. The home crowd was not impressed when S. Salisburi came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 66 minutes. calzette were now up 1 - 3. L. Cerone came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over D. Truszkiewicz but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. A. Susanu sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from P. Carlacchiani after 70 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 4. Confident in their lead, calzette's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 74 minutes played, C. Camba nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by calzette, with 63 percent of the ball.

BellaZio's top performer was clearly E. Jiménez Llanes. U. Bertero was a disappointment, however. Most important calzette player was L. Cerone. However, M. Hilhorst made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 4.
