Terrosi was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 2. A. Starcovski neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to P.

He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 6. At that, F. Terrosi was noted down for a hat trick! The players of Atl. now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. P. Consorti finished off the counterattack of pieveottoville from the left rather easily, making the score 1 - 6. The home crowd were delighted when V. Di Battista scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 2 - 6. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Possession in this half belonged to Atl., who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

The most dominating pieveottoville player was without a doubt V. Di Battista. A. Razzi on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Atl. player was A. Bertani. On the other hand, A. Provenzale's play was disheartening. The match ends 2 - 6.
