Romito almost scored after a counterattack 16 minutes into the match, but C. De Girolamo took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why G. Vender found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. After 31 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. J. Perkkiö easily put the ball away to give the lead to Lunacane. 1 - 0 32 minutes into the match the visitors levelled the score at 1 - 1 as M.

With the match clock at 65 minutes, Romito modified their style of play a little bit. With their counter attack move halted 73 minutes into the game, Romito were left with a free kick. The ball is passed straight through to the other end of the penalty area, with hopes for it to reach P. Gilardoni. However, he didn't have his wits about him and the ball went out. Romito were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from V. Mosca went into the arms of the keeper. The intense heat forced C. De Girolamo into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. M. Maffezzoni caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 86 minutes. This gave Lunacane the 2 - 1 lead. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lunacane, with 61 percent of the ball.
