Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 2755 at Il Castello today. Robin van Zelhem was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gian Franco Gheza and Filiep Brems. Gioiabiancorossa had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Starters: Rubado - Polla, Bocale, Gualandi, Bonizzoni - Faggio, Arcesilai, Luly, Onnis - Davanzante, Nepi.

Sanc decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Lineup: Genovese - Pez, Passalacqua, Corvaja, Svensson - Ardito, Ramakers, Etura, Totaro - Bonetti, Havas.

After a fine move down the middle P. Faggio nearly gave the home side a goal after 31 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Sanc's S. Svensson could have put the guests one up after 35 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but R. Rubado was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. G. Vitalone was called on to replace Gioiabiancorossa's P. Faggio after 43 minutes following a nasty collision. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 43 minutes into the match left Sanc's E. Bonetti completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Sanc enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

The home crowd was not impressed when M. Pez came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 67 minutes. Sanc were now up 0 - 2. Gioiabiancorossa's P. Bonizzoni managed a superb strike from the left after 70 minutes that would have left goalkeeper A. Genovese without a chance, had it not hit the post. With 81 minutes played, Sanc put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was B. Havas. After this, you could see that the players of Sanc were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Sanc had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

G. Davanzante performed admirably for Gioiabiancorossa. However, R. Rubado made a disastrous appearance. Sanc's best player was E. Bonetti. On the other hand, D. Corvaja's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 3.
