A scorching day at RUNNERS Stadium, where 13023 spectators were in place for today's match. Norberto Conti was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Valericã Dorobantu and Björn Wöll. F.C.Sempre decided to use a 5-3-2 set up. Starters: Trimarchi - Mambretti, Gencarelli, Campisi, Flebus, Rambaud - Montereggi, Balerdi, Lieding - Hering, Pires.

Aiuolo tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Kornecki - Mareşi, Harzemşah, Gabriel - Delamare, Mäki-Manner, Amin Doust, Vannucchi, Stjernblom - Málik, Khodl.

For their match strategy, F.C.Sempre had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. P. Trimarchi looked great 8 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' T. Mäki-Manner. G. Lieding's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. A counterattack by F.C.Sempre after 33 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but F. Hering, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Aiuolo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

49 minutes into the game, Y. Khodl was a hair's breadth away from giving Aiuolo the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by P. Trimarchi saved the home team that time. With 50 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of F.C.Sempre resulted in a counterattack that set A. Balerdi free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. F. Hering found it hard to catch his breath today in the stifling heat. A. Mareşi of Aiuolo was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Aiuolo took the lead after 74 minutes making the score 0 - 1. T. Mäki-Manner placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, Aiuolo's F. Stjernblom somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for Y. Khodl, who struck for 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Aiuolo, with 57 percent of the ball.

F.C.Sempre's top performer was clearly L. Campisi. However, V. Pires made a disastrous appearance. Y. Khodl performed admirably for Aiuolo. On the other hand, A. Mareşi's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 2.
