14685 fans braved the pouring rain at Cibe Amphitheatrum. Félix Chabin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alan Cantwell and Antti Valtaranta. Cibe decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Pesztránszki - Pochroń, Buchenberger, Cicotti - Lebach, Levrini, Staris, Van Lokeren, Herd - Rullo, Gray.

Intripidissimi had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Dăian - Bertora, Tetes, Baroffio - Molinari, Di Pasquale, Dujić, Virtuani, Winther - Lieven, Gilbert.

Intripidissimi saw most attack opportunities on the wings. G. Bertora spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. After 24 minutes of play, L. Gray gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. G. Van Lokeren struck a 30 metre free kick home 26 minutes into the match. 2 - 0 for the home team. After this, you could see that the players of Cibe were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Cibe's O. Levrini had an excellent opportunity after 31 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Cibe, with 55 percent of the ball.

Intripidissimi needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 55 minutes T. Winther made way for A. Rundhall. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Cibe scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for M. Rullo after 66 minutes. The bench was restless, and with 67 minutes passed Intripidissimi's coach gave J. Aschettino the opportunity the player had been hoping for. M. Virtuani reluctantly left the field. With 67 minutes played, Cibe put themselves up 4 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to M. Rullo, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit A. Di Pasquale just fine. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; K. Lieven made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 4 - 1 76 minutes into the match. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Cibe's O. Levrini increasing the lead to 5 - 1. Cibe claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

Most important Cibe player was M. Rullo. On the other hand, S. Buchenberger's play was disheartening. The most dominating Intripidissimi player was without a doubt A. Di Pasquale. However, G. Bertora made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 1.
