Nazionale were clearly looking ahead to the next match rather than focusing on the one at hand. Nazionale took the lead after M. Kaučák curved a free kick into the net. 0 - 1 With 37 minutes played, F. Censori of oberdan fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. With 40 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed H. Quevedo of Nazionale to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. H. Quevedo of Nazionale took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 41 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. With 43 minutes played, Nazionale's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to V. Stöhr he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 0 - 4. After 44 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for H. Quevedo who increased Nazionale's lead to 0 - 5. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for H. Quevedo. Confident in their lead, Nazionale's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. It was 0 - 5 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Nazionale, with 81 percent of the ball.

53 minutes into the game, Nazionale seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. A drive down the left side allowed M. Trampetti to get in close and score another goal for Nazionale after 59 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. F. Nardizzi received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 64 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. F. Ducrocq received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 66 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 7. The Nazionale fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. 80 minutes into the game, F. Nardizzi had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came E. Luisi. V. Di Puorto slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. 81 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 8 as H. Quevedo finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. oberdan's E. Calarco had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 82 minutes having been played. E. Cerio was the replacement. With 85 minutes played, Nazionale put themselves up 0 - 9 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Trampetti. Nazionale enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

oberdan's best player was G. Sinesi. R. Cera on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Nazionale player was without a doubt F. Ducrocq. C. La Farina turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 9.
