Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for F.C.Sempre. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to M. Ambrosini, but the lanerossi player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! With 34 minutes played, G. Buonfini of lanerossi fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. S. Flebus received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 37 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. lanerossi increased the lead as A. Auricchio struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The players of lanerossi now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. lanerossi enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 70 percent of possession.

F.C.Sempre's counterattacks created a good chance for F. Hering on the right after 66 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. M. Ambrosini almost put lanerossi ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. F.C.Sempre had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 75 minutes, but S. Rambaud's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. After 76 minutes F.C.Sempre's G. Montereggi contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. After 83 minutes, the defensive line of F.C.Sempre created a counterattack through the middle that gave G. Montereggi a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. lanerossi claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.
