kart used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. It was an obvious ambition of realmadridtop to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when A. Bedin was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 15 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! 21 minutes into the match, the visiting realmadridtop made the score 0 - 1 after M. Hafiz executed a perfect free kick. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit F. Trivisonno just fine. The coach of realmadridtop was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 34 minutes, Ä. Niescher came on for A. Butta.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the realmadridtop coach let A. Marques replace M. Hafiz after 46 minutes. realmadridtop had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. After 49 minutes of game time, A. Bedin had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but M. Gullo was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for kart, but S. Klophie's shot went over the bar. The home crowd cheered when, after 72 minutes, Ä. Niescher's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. With the clock showing 73 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of kart resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by R. Saccomandi in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by kart, with 51 percent of the ball.

G. Hornstorf performed admirably for kart. S. Montani turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important realmadridtop player was F. Trivisonno. However, M. Ardama made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
