Salernitara had a good opportunity to take the lead as F. Carlea came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of A. Kermani. P. Höstby came close to putting the visiting team one up 28 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but M. Perrotta managed to tip the ball to a corner. tonyjuve's A. Radosavljević was shown a yellow card after 30 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Salernitara's G. Dussi got himself booked for a foul. Salernitara made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left L. Uhl completely alone with keeper A. Kermani, who made a spectacular block. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Salernitara had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

After 56 minutes, the tonyjuve coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving D. Martin off the field. S. Adriaenssens took his place. Salernitara's G. Dussi had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 63 minutes having been played. J. Meschieri was the replacement. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 65 minutes allowed B. Davidsen to score for tonyjuve. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 66 minutes, Salernitara did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, E. Barbatelli was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 1. Salernitara broke through on the left 74 minutes into the game, with P. Ronzoni firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 2 - 1 lead. Possession in this half belonged to Salernitara, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

E. Pettinato performed admirably for Salernitara. G. Belfanti on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating tonyjuve player was without a doubt B. Davidsen. A. Kermani was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
