It was an obvious ambition of capitantempesta to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. It was obvious that capitantempesta had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. capitantempesta broke through on the left 5 minutes into the game, with R. Cioccoletta firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. The referee showed Napoli's G. Beatrice the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. capitantempesta were forced into a substitution as O. Königsstollen couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing M. Ghirardello to come in off the bench. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in capitantempesta's R. Cioccoletta increasing the lead to 2 - 0. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, M. Ercolani got himself booked. The manager of Napoli was not happy. After 39 minutes, P. Faltin put capitantempesta ahead 3 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. At this point, it was obvious that the players of capitantempesta lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. capitantempesta enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

D. Bourlard was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. Cheers filled the stadium as P. Faltin broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to capitantempesta. P. Faltin of capitantempesta displayed some of his fantastic technical abilities when he brought the ball down neatly using his instep before nutmegging the bewildered M. Caputo and smashing an unstoppable shot past the goalkeeper to make it 5 - 0. That made three goals for P. Faltin and he was marked down for the hat trick. capitantempesta solidified their lead at the 72 minute mark, as R. Cioccoletta dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 6 - 0. By then R. Cioccoletta had scored three goals - a hat trick! With 81 minutes played, capitantempesta put themselves up 7 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to J. Ausiró, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. J. Ausiró didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Napoli's C. Bonacci had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 87 minutes having been played. T. Puppolo was the replacement. capitantempesta were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. capitantempesta put themselves up 8 - 0 when D. Bourlard broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by capitantempesta, with 82 percent of the ball.

capitantempesta's top performer was clearly P. Faltin. On the other hand, A. Rubegni's play was disheartening. The most dominating Napoli player was without a doubt T. Puppolo. E. Perillo was a disappointment, however. The match ends 8 - 0.
