Football seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Movida broke through on the left 15 minutes into the game, with A. Lorenzoni firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. N. Zambelli should probably have put his team up another goal after 17 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by L. Karadimov kept the visitors in the game. C. Marino could have put Movida up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 18 minutes. Movida put themselves up 2 - 0 when G. Majolino broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. F. Marasco of Movida was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. G. Leca's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. With 27 minutes gone, Movida had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, N. Zambelli did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Movida enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

It wasn't a good day at all for C. Marino. His powerful style of play just didn't fit the bill on this warm day. After 48 minutes, A. Lorenzoni put Movida ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Movida's G. Zangiacomi left the field after 59 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Demartini. Movida's A. Demartini increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 61 minutes. The players of Movida now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Movida's O. Stracciati was shown a yellow card after 71 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Movida's O. Stracciati swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. After 86 minutes Football's C. Chiliman limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Football were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Movida, with 59 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Movida player was without a doubt N. Zambelli. On the other hand, A. Demartini's play was disheartening. Most important Football player was D. De Sousa. L. Karadimov turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
