Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 30398 at "oasi felice" di sesto today. Adrian Enache was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Norbert Škoda and Paulino Pita Caños. ss62 decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Dubinko - Šimoník, Neumuth, Sõber - op der Heijde, Gaber, Borin, Gugg, Giovannetti - Loskarn, Spørring.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Nano-Nano. The following players took the field: Iacob - Pillius, Rojas Solís, D'Angelo, Cecinato - Heuvelmans, Bandelloni, Fattori, Promilec - Lackmedien, Ullman.

After 18 minutes, Nano-Nano's J. Bandelloni made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. 35 minutes into the game, A. Borin came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. The crowd roared in delight as K. Sõber finished off a spectacular series of passes through the middle to even the score for ss62 40 minutes into the match. 1 - 1. ss62's P. Gugg was shown a yellow card after 41 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Nano-Nano were forced into a substitution as P. Pillius couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing P. Fusco to come in off the bench. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ss62, with 62 percent of the ball.

Slack defending gave ss62 a chance to take the lead with 57 minutes played, but K. Loskarn's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Nano-Nano's I. Lackmedien got himself booked for a foul. A loud groan was heard from the fans of ss62, as A. Borin left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. M. Previderè took his place on the field. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave K. Sõber from ss62 a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 88 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Due to a severely mistimed tackle, W. Heuvelmans of Nano-Nano spent some time on the grass writhing in agony before he could get up and continue the game. ss62 had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

The most dominating ss62 player was without a doubt P. Gugg. On the other hand, M. Previderè's play was disheartening. Most important Nano-Nano player was R. Ullman. P. Fusco on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 1.
