Mazzarri used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Today, x_genna_x's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 2 minutes in, the referee awarded Mazzarri a penalty. B. Tokaji coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. Mazzarri managed to extend their lead to 2 - 0 when M. Dalai cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. x_genna_x's D. Seras Valiente was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the opposition's box - B. Montalva managed to volley one of them into the net to make it 2 - 1 after 28 minutes. G. Ciaccasassi's speed was almost enough to give Mazzarri a goal after 36 minutes, but his nice pass to M. Dalai was not taken care of properly. With 37 minutes played, Mazzarri put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to C. Ferreira, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. The referee showed x_genna_x's B. Montalva the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Halftime score was 3 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Mazzarri, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

55 minutes in, F. Mota made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but M. Chiantini refused to let the ball slip by him. Mazzarri's M. Hudec placed the ball right at his teammate's feet after a corner, but G. Ciaccasassi couldn't finish. Mazzarri claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

The most dominating Mazzarri player was without a doubt G. Bragallini. On the other hand, U. Dirlmeier's play was disheartening. B. Montalva performed admirably for x_genna_x. However, P. Varela made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
