Vizioli an easy chance to knock it in for 2 - 1. After 85 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by M. Poštić might have resulted in another goal for fe1907. However, A. Passarini made a spectacular save. fe1907's G. Janot saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 86 minutes.
