Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Schiribizzo. They were singing the praises of G. Giarrizzo 23 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 TARZANELLI. The rain made it hard for players like G. Pannocchia to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. V. Ribichini sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from G. Pannocchia after 32 minutes of play, making the score 1 - 1. TARZANELLI had a chance to take the lead after S. Trielli's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 34 minutes. Schiribizzo were able to draw a foul with their counterattacks, but the shot from G. Pannocchia went into the arms of the keeper. S. Trielli gave TARZANELLI the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 2 - 1 Schiribizzo almost scored after a counterattack 40 minutes into the match, but G. Coperchio took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to TARZANELLI, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

TARZANELLI had a magnificent opportunity after 47 minutes as D. Pavlov hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. D. Pavlov should probably have put his team up another goal after 48 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by G. Lucchesi kept the visitors in the game. Schiribizzo's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 57 minutes gone, but A. Nicole's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. 58 minutes in, Schiribizzo's M. Malfitano received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A swift counterattack by Schiribizzo resulted in a free kick that G. Pannocchia elegantly twisted into the goal - 2 - 2! Schiribizzo's G. Axia got himself booked for a foul. After 89 minutes, the Schiribizzo coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving M. Malfitano off the field. N. Baggio took his place. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TARZANELLI, with 60 percent of the ball.

Most important TARZANELLI player was K. İzzetli. On the other hand, L. Všetička's play was disheartening. Schiribizzo's top performer was clearly C. Bonci. G. Pannocchia on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
