Bergamo1907 took the lead 9 minutes into the game by 1 - 0, as A. Kulcsár elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. Cheers filled the stadium as M. Deszczka broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Bergamo1907. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their E. Gostkowski reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 after 20 minutes, following a pass from the right. A great save by keeper T. Paraíso after 22 minutes kept the visitors in the game after M. Boudin struck from the left with a real cannonball. With 25 minutes played, Bergamo1907 put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M. Boudin, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 3 - 1 was the halftime score. Bergamo1907 had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

With their counter attack move halted 56 minutes into the game, atletico were left with a free kick. The ball is passed straight through to the other end of the penalty area, with hopes for it to reach M. Eschacker. However, he didn't have his wits about him and the ball went out. The bench was restless, and with 65 minutes passed atletico's coach gave F. Ferrari the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Eschacker reluctantly left the field. A free kick just outside of the visitors' penalty area after 70 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but T. Paraíso got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. atletico fought on and, after 76 minutes, L. Hoeder was able to reduce the deficit to 3 - 2 after some excellent moves on the right side were finished off with an incredibly clever chip. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Bergamo1907 scored another to make it 4 - 2 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for A. D'Antuono after 79 minutes. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Parrau squirmed through their central defence after 84 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Bergamo1907, with 71 percent of the ball.

Bergamo1907's top performer was clearly M. Boudin. On the other hand, F. Norelli's play was disheartening. R. Czekaj performed admirably for atletico. T. Paraíso turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 5 - 2.
