Cascurò decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. The following players took the field: Simonetti - Zerbi, Meneghello, Tangianu, Gerarduzzi, Borin - Pereira, Gallinari, Brata - Ghilotti, Todescato.

Stagnese used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. For their match strategy, Cascurò had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. With the clock showing 23 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Cascurò resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by A. Todescato in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. The referee showed Stagnese's G. Konopacki the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Cascurò had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 42 minutes, but A. Todescato's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Stagnese had most of the ball, with 84 percent of possession.

Stagnese's P. Fuchsbau had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 68 minutes having been played. E. Moscariello was the replacement. Good work by the Cascurò defensive line after 82 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found L. Ghilotti alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. A. Resta looked great 84 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' M. Brata. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Pereira from Cascurò a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 85 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Stagnese, with 82 percent of the ball.

Stagnese's best player was R. Canellas. S. Castegnero on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Cascurò player was without a doubt L. Gerarduzzi. D. Gallinari turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
