2016 spectators arrived at Fia-ma Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Paw Nygaard was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Teobaldo Bigode and Óscar Caño. Italia started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. The following players took the field: Gifteas - Maciński, Singen, Kromonen, Gheza, Hegetschwiler - Vlahov, Nogaj, van Tuinen, Goryainov - Brambillia.

RENTE decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. Starters: Rybus - Smith, López, Ruiz, Solergibert, Toscano - Labat, Huirravoso, Valpuesta, Surgeres - Zalaca.

Given a free kick in a difficult position after 36 minutes, Italia tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Italia, with 56 percent of the ball.

With 76 minutes played, R. Valpuesta of RENTE fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The referee signaled a penalty for the home side after 77 minutes, amid vocal protests from the visitors. Italia fans erupted in celebration as P. Brambillia rifled the ball into the the top corner. 1 - 0! RENTE's V. Labat had seen it all before, so he waited patiently for the right opportunity. He would get no better chance than the one he took, but his shot was deftly blocked by the keeper. After 83 minutes, the defensive line of Italia created a counterattack through the middle that gave P. Brambillia a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Possession in this half belonged to Italia, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

The most dominating Italia player was without a doubt F. Maciński. M. Nogaj turned in a dismal performance, however. RENTE's best player was Ó. Huirravoso. Ó. Zalaca was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
