Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 44960 to Colosso di Sacca Fisola. Quentin Reigsecker was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Wouter-Jan Beringer and Niels Flemming. Clitomani decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Spompato - Ciepliński, Nasi, Rocchi - Castaldo, Boldrin, Montalbano, Bellissimo, Björkland - Villa, Bobrov.

Palestro had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Crestini - Sacchi, Ivaldi, Leanza - Polimeni, Cornaglia, Cosolini, Colluto - Lodes, Giaccio, Cangiano.

After some beautiful movement down the left wing, J. Ciepliński scored for Clitomani putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 32 minutes. 35 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as N. Boldrin broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Clitomani. A bit later, Palestro's R. Cangiano easily reduced the lead to 2 - 1 after a misunderstanding in the home side's central defence. 2 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Clitomani, with 60 percent of the ball.

J. Ciepliński struck a 30 metre free kick home 55 minutes into the match. 3 - 1 for the home team. Clitomani solidified their lead at the 70 minute mark, as P. Bellissimo dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 4 - 1. After this, you could see that the players of Clitomani were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Clitomani's M. Björkland swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Clitomani enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 60 percent of possession.

Most important Clitomani player was V. Bobrov. On the other hand, F. Castaldo's play was disheartening. The most dominating Palestro player was without a doubt N. Lodes. However, G. Cosolini made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
