Mirmidons seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. After 11 minutes, J. Åhlén came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Amatrice the lead. A. Touro hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Amatrice's R. Maloletkin an easy chance to knock it in for 2 - 0. After 23 minutes, Amatrice were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. A. Touro did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. 25 minutes into the game, Amatrice seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. After 29 minutes Amatrice's S. Gherarducci contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. R. Marczykiewicz increased Amatrice's lead to 3 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. J. Åhlén dispatched a majestic long shot 37 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. 41 minutes in, Amatrice appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only poor. 42 minutes into the match, Amatrice's R. Maloletkin demonstrated his famed speed as he raced past his marker and passed the ball to F. Tapia Gómez who chipped it in for 4 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Amatrice were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. Amatrice had most of the ball, with 67 percent of possession.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Amatrice was able to get his message across, and raised Amatrice's organisation to passable. A. Touro left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 56 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. G. Di Maso was the replacement. After 62 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Amatrice found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. Amatrice's S. Gherarducci had an excellent opportunity after 66 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! R. Marczykiewicz could have increased the lead after 67 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Amatrice's G. Di Maso swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. 78 minutes into the game, Amatrice seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to inadequate. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Amatrice coach let D. Rojas replace E. Di Tria after 83 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Amatrice, with 69 percent of the ball.

Amatrice's best player was J. Di Marco. S. Gherarducci on the other hand, had a terrible day. D. Legrand performed admirably for Mirmidons. H. Embden turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
