They were singing the praises of A. Formichi 10 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to LamiaLazio. LamiaLazio increased the lead as L. Taioli struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Y. Vassiliou was called on to replace LamiaLazio's S. Munegato after 13 minutes following a nasty collision. L. Fraulini sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from J. Terroba after 17 minutes of play, making the score 2 - 1. The score became 3 - 1 at 18 minutes into the game, when LamiaLazio were given a penalty which L. Giusto blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! The home team's fans were upset when, after 20 minutes, the visiting P. Pruneda broke through the central defence and kicked the ball past the keeper. 3 - 2 was the score. The referee showed Ing.T.L.C.Football's P. Pruneda the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. LamiaLazio's Y. Vassiliou went down after a savage challenge, but could continue playing after some medical attention. 3 - 2 was the score after the first half. LamiaLazio enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

R. Ciuffa could have put LamiaLazio up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 49 minutes. After 60 minutes, Ing.T.L.C.Football switched C. Busson with E. Placidi, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. The visitors refused to give in and, after 61 minutes, C. Palso evened things up as he finished off a perfect pass from the right. 3 - 3 G. Toon would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. M. Medel entered the game for Ing.T.L.C.Football as the match clock showed 68 minutes. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, T. Charles took over the role of being the Ing.T.L.C.Football captain. 70 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a LamiaLazio substitution. D. Fuina came on for A. Formichi. F. Venturato of LamiaLazio was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish M. Medel, which resulted in a goal making the score 4 - 3. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. L. Taioli squirmed through their central defence after 73 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 3. 75 minutes in, C. Palso made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but Y. Vassiliou refused to let the ball slip by him. LamiaLazio put in a good effort on the right, but M. Cacaglione saw his volley fly wide of the mark 82 minutes into the game. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their S. Šekularac reduced the lead to make it 5 - 4 after 84 minutes, following a pass from the right. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

F. Venturato performed admirably for LamiaLazio. However, Y. Vassiliou made a disastrous appearance. Most important Ing.T.L.C.Football player was C. Palso. On the other hand, M. Medel's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 4.
