The following players had been chosen: Colantonio - Sossio, Nucera, Mantovan - Namdar, Intaschi, Zvietich, Borchi, Mehlich - De Mitri, Couture.
The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to
A. Lopez, but the Pinaeto player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0!
After 24 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and
A. Lopez gave the Pinaeto supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0.

A. Ghizzoni acted with superior experience when, 39 minutes into the match, he predicted a pass, intercepted it and then finished off with a goal. 3 - 0 for Pinaeto!

That made three goals for
A. Ghizzoni and he was marked down for the hat trick.
Always quick on his feet, morican's
