For their match strategy, banditi had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. N. Zanin really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by M. Spedaliere after a corner. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to J. Carrasco, but the LittleHell player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! N. Zanin had a fantastic opportunity to put LittleHell up another goal 27 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. With 28 minutes gone, S. Zuffo suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by banditi caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. A. Fallea tied the game at 1 - 1 after 30 minutes, when he converted an incredible pass from the right. 35 minutes into the game, LittleHell's S. Schiti surprised the visitors with a raking cross-field pass to N. Zanin who easily found the back of the net, making the score 2 - 1. R. Kišš enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. LittleHell increased the lead as N. Zanin struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. In the lead, LittleHell adjusted their style of play with 37 minutes gone. 3 - 1 was the halftime score. LittleHell claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

The banditi coach was desperate to reverse his team's fortunes in the game, and ordered his team to change strategy. After 46 minutes, the LittleHell players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. LittleHell put in a good effort on the right, but J. Carrasco saw his volley fly wide of the mark 51 minutes into the game. Things were deteriorating for the away team as LittleHell scored another to make it 4 - 1 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for F. Ragghianti after 52 minutes. After this, you could see that the players of LittleHell were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. V. Massidda wanted to play on, but the LittleHell coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 55 minutes into the game by E. D'Antoni. With 55 minutes played, LittleHell's S. Schiti almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. The visitors got a chance to pulling one back after 70 minutes, due to a defensive blunder leaving S. Zuffo completely unmarked. His strike was pathetic though, easy prey for the home side's keeper. banditi needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 75 minutes V. Ferrenho made way for D. Prisco. After 75 minutes, banditi used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. Possession in this half belonged to LittleHell, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

The most dominating LittleHell player was without a doubt N. Zanin. S. Majolino on the other hand, had a terrible day. banditi's best player was G. Macchia. On the other hand, D. Prisco's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 1.
