INTER-BANESTI seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Today, guinness's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. guinness had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of guinness's M. Moya after 3 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. With 25 minutes played, guinness put themselves up 0 - 2 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was E. Dias. After this, you could see that the players of guinness were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Sammut came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 27 minutes. guinness were now up 0 - 3. 37 minutes into the game, guinness worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. It was obvious that guinness had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. A drive down the left side allowed G. Schiavo to get in close and score another goal for guinness after 43 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. guinness had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

With 55 minutes played, S. De Giorgi 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 team's supporters got excited again when V. Morganti broke through the visitors' central defence and caught their keeper off guard, making it 1 - 4. guinness had to make a substitution after 59 minutes. E. Angius limped off the field and was replaced by P. Lucchese. With 60 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed G. Falcione of guinness to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 1 - 5. guinness claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

Most important INTER-BANESTI player was M. Helldahl. S. Fusco was a disappointment, however. guinness's best player was A. Sammut. However, P. Lucchese made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 5.
