Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Torelli Arena saw a crowd turnout of 22480. Alan Dolejš was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Roger Sandell and Noé Olagüe. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Maremma. The following players had been chosen: Peila - Berte, Metsers, Piccioli - Gkazonoulis, Zatula, Paraschiv, Gajowa, Guillemó - Rezanka, Fogl.

Salentina had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Kuleshevich - Tomiło, Bauducco, Rodríguez Aznar - Pinet, Reis, Carré, Tamelli, Resmini - Manninen, Maksum.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 2 minutes into the match, and M. Rodríguez Aznar wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. C. Reis really should have scored when he was chosen by fate to confront a wide open goal following a great play by T. Maksum after a corner. A. Gkazonoulis made a superb strike after 15 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Salentina made it 0 - 2 as T. Pinet got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to J. Manninen who whipped a low drive in off the far post. Q. Peila got a fingertip on T. Maksum's shot from the left 17 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 20 minutes into the match, putting Salentina ahead 0 - 3. A. Bauducco was the scorer. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Salentina had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

48 minutes into the match, S. Carré came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. L. Fogl charged down the left and looked sure to score for Maremma 53 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. With 75 minutes played, S. Carré nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The home crowd cheered when, after 78 minutes, T. Pinet's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The coach of Salentina was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 80 minutes, A. Johnson came on for J. Manninen. Salentina enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

L. Metsers performed admirably for Maremma. On the other hand, A. Gkazonoulis's play was disheartening. Salentina's top performer was clearly B. Resmini. However, A. Bauducco made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
