napoli33 tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Murati - Dilena, Masarin, Aversa, Carbotti - Alberti, Cerrelli, Schiattarella, Sbrancia - Zuffi, Napoli.

With 11 minutes played, N. Carbotti of napoli33 fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to G. Paxleben, but the Viadanese player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Viadanese put themselves up 2 - 0 when M. Santoriello broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Viadanese lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. napoli33 came close to narrowing the gap when L. Dilena's free kick nearly made it past the outstretched hands of D. Viel after 21 minutes. A. Giantomasi received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 24 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Cheers filled the stadium as G. Paxleben broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Viadanese. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their C. Aversa reduced the lead to make it 3 - 1 after 33 minutes, following a pass from the right. 3 - 1 was the score after the first half. Viadanese enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

Viadanese's L. Macchi increased the lead to 4 - 1, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 57 minutes. 60 minutes into the game, A. Giantomasi had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came G. Riscossa. After 64 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and P. Nizzolo gave the Viadanese supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 1. After 66 minutes, L. Macchi put Viadanese ahead 6 - 1 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. P. Nizzolo had a fantastic opportunity to put Viadanese up another goal 71 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Viadanese's C. Rotella got himself booked for a foul. Viadanese solidified their lead at the 78 minute mark, as E. Capirossi dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 7 - 1. Viadanese claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 71 percent.

Viadanese's top performer was clearly E. Capirossi. On the other hand, D. Viel's play was disheartening. The most dominating napoli33 player was without a doubt N. Carbotti. L. Murati turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 7 - 1.
