Preneste 1 - 0 Hello (381677132)

24978 spectators arrived at Palestrina Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Vladimir Beierholm was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Damian van Scheijen and Federico Angellotti. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Preneste. Lineup: Piri - Sadir, Plebani, van Gorkum - Wolf, Cachafeiro, Căruntu, De Fraeye, Hoffmann - Bobuľský, Fraggakos.

Hello had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Vivas - Semernin, Nary, Mittermeier, Marescotti - Luiz, Tornaghi, Correia, Gilotti - Pérez, Iliano.

M. Bobuľský gave Preneste the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 Hello had a chance to level the score as Y. Pérez suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. The home crowd just couldn't believe it when R. van Gorkum missed a penalty after 37 minutes of the match. Hello's C. Luiz was shown a yellow card after 38 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Preneste, with 54 percent of the ball.

Coming through the middle P. Marescotti almost scored the equaliser for Hello after 55 minutes, but E. Piri made an excellent save, tipping the awkwardly curled shot past the post. E. Cachafeiro could have put Preneste up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 63 minutes. With 64 minutes played, J. Mittermeier of Hello fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Good work by the Hello defensive line after 66 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found M. Iliano alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Preneste enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

Most important Preneste player was E. Cachafeiro. A. De Fraeye on the other hand, had a terrible day. S. Nary performed admirably for Hello. On the other hand, G. Gilotti's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
