marfa69 saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 4 minutes, N. Markfort sent the corner kick right to I. Andris who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 0! marfa69 increased the lead as V. Prisco struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The home side's N. Markfort came close to extending the lead 8 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but D. Guriis managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. V. Prisco squirmed through their central defence after 16 minutes, increasing the lead to 3 - 0. The home team's fans were upset when, after 30 minutes, the visiting N. Panella broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 3 - 1 was the score. 3 - 1 was the score after the first half. marfa69 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, aldofabrizi's A. Helstein was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. A. Jachna was given a chance to change things around. A. Vigorito should probably have put his team up another goal after 47 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by D. Guriis kept the visitors in the game. V. Rai could have put marfa69 up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 49 minutes. The visitors replied 53 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 2, as A. Jachna dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. With 59 minutes played, the aldofabrizi coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. N. Crozier came on, C. Desmars had to leave the fray. R. Asp neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to B. Karlsson who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. marfa69 managed to extend their lead to 4 - 2 when V. Rai cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. After 74 minutes aldofabrizi's R. Asp limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. V. Prisco's lightning pace was too much for L. Cascarejo who could only look on as the marfa69 player blasted one home. 5 - 2. By then V. Prisco had scored three goals - a hat trick! After this, you could see that the players of marfa69 were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave S. Solla from marfa69 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 80 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! marfa69 had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

marfa69's best player was V. Prisco. However, I. Kilpatrick made a disastrous appearance. N. Panella performed admirably for aldofabrizi. H. Sikkens turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 2.
