Johnny Soland was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ariël Dobbelaere and Ricardo Ascarrunz. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Diagonal. Lineup: Grammatico - Lancellotti, Perucchini, Falcone Aniello, Chiarini - Isoardi, Falegnami, Sordi, Fossà, Casellato - Della Morte.

Catenaccese had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Gómez - Wojsiat, Fossati, Magnanimi - Moracci, Heikkilä, Huikari, Marto, Schoonvaere - Lohmann, Gallucci.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Lohmann from Catenaccese a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 20 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! N. Perucchini was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so Diagonal's R. Strazzari had to come off the bench. With 23 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, G. Fossati needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Diagonal's R. Strazzari was shown a yellow card after 35 minutes for slicing down an opponent. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Diagonal, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

Diagonal had most of the ball, with 64 percent of possession.

Diagonal's best player was A. Della Morte. On the other hand, M. Isoardi's play was disheartening. A. Gallucci performed admirably for Catenaccese. C. Moracci on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 0.
