Saint tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Lustü - Moskal, Lamaille, Bonard - Krysiński, Montaigne, Nübel, Petruzzelli, Maya - Farik, da Conceição.

Many thought M. Castello ought to have been awarded a penalty 4 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around K. Lustü after a determined run through the middle. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to A. Marchegiani, but the sciarmaderos player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. A. Marchegiani squirmed through their central defence after 26 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of sciarmaderos to 3 - 0 as T. Colas finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. Confident in their lead, sciarmaderos's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to sciarmaderos, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

F. Rago left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. R. Barresi was the replacement. The coach of sciarmaderos was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, M. Blomsjö came on for J. Dyrland. Content with how the game was proceeding, the sciarmaderos coach let M. Cerritelli replace G. Quitarrà after 46 minutes. After 51 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and M. Blomsjö gave the sciarmaderos supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs P. Petruzzelli found it hard to get back into position. With 74 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, Saint showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 4 - 1 when O. Montaigne got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. After 85 minutes M. Blomsjö made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to A. Marchegiani who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 5 - 1. At that, A. Marchegiani was noted down for a hat trick! 86 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as R. Barresi broke through, making the score 6 - 1 for sciarmaderos. Saint had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

sciarmaderos's best player was A. Marchegiani. On the other hand, R. Barresi's play was disheartening. Saint's top performer was clearly P. Petruzzelli. T. Maya was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 1.
