Brencis firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. brixia increased the lead as A.

With 29 minutes played, brixia put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M.

A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of brixia to 4 - 0 as M. Buratin finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Confident in their lead, brixia's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. brixia solidified their lead at the 81 minute mark, as A. Brencis dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 5 - 0. This third goal completed a hattrick for A. Brencis. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave I. Lería Gil from Mullenstone a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 83 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! A well placed corner kick from 盛. 若宏 (Ruohong) was followed by K. Bayhan's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for brixia, the score now 6 - 0. brixia's T. Chiesi increased the lead to 7 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 86 minutes. 盛. 若宏 (Ruohong)'s curling free kick almost found the goal for brixia, but the visitors' keeper somehow managed to get ahold of it. Mullenstone mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 89 minutes, but G. Giannelli was unable to convert from short range. brixia had most of the ball, with 62 percent of possession.

M. Placidi performed admirably for brixia. U. Avesio on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Mullenstone player was E. Gismondi. On the other hand, R. Senis's play was disheartening. The match ends 7 - 0.
