Terragni made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. The score became 3 - 1 at 33 minutes into the game, when Fiat were given a penalty which D.

Fiat enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

The home side's C. Arànega came close to extending the lead 63 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but O. Iğla managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Fiat's A. Lennartsson increasing the lead to 4 - 1. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. do Senhor squirmed through their central defence after 74 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 1.

J. do Senhor unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Fiat, with 61 percent of the ball.

D. Amorim performed admirably for Fiat. J. Tomé on the other hand, had a terrible day. Perillo's best player was P. Tibaldi. F. Pindaíba was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 1.
