The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 21 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by A. Cataldi. 2 - 0 for the home side. Cheers filled the stadium as D. Musaraj broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to MilanoGreco. At this point, it was obvious that the players of MilanoGreco lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Some things can only be learned through experience, and D. Journet should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting F.C. a goal with 23 minutes of the match played. MilanoGreco had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. C. Lopes squirmed through their central defence after 27 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. 28 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as F. Pentassuglia broke through, making the score 5 - 0 for MilanoGreco. The teams went for the halftime break at 5 - 0. MilanoGreco claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 84 percent.

The MilanoGreco players could smell victory in the air. G. Cimei wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for C. Vannucci after 46 minutes. A. Le Brun wanted to play on, but the MilanoGreco coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 46 minutes into the game by S. Nikolić. Content with how the game was proceeding, the MilanoGreco coach let M. Iglauer replace D. Musaraj after 46 minutes. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in MilanoGreco's A. Galantucci increasing the lead to 6 - 0. F.C.'s C. Serra Ruda was shown a yellow card after 67 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Lopes broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 7 - 0 to MilanoGreco. 69 minutes in, MilanoGreco's C. Vannucci received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. It was a bad day for the usually speedy M. Lampa. The mud seemed to slow him down.

Cataldi broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 9 - 0 to MilanoGreco. After 75 minutes, A. Galantucci put MilanoGreco ahead 10 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Eboli from MilanoGreco a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 79 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! M. Greco of F.C. had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. S. Floca came in to finish the match. M. Lampa was the new captain of F.C. - handed the armband by the departing player. Possession in this half belonged to MilanoGreco, who controlled the ball 89 percent of the time.

Most important MilanoGreco player was A. Cataldi. However, F. Pentassuglia made a disastrous appearance. C. Serra Ruda performed admirably for F.C.. On the other hand, C. Gambardella's play was disheartening. The match ends 10 - 0.
