glorioso's
K. Raben tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders.
P. Facciolo had to be alert to tip
K. Loft's fantastic penalty kick over the bar, denying glorioso a chance at the lead.
S. Tausen was ever so close to scoring after an excellent corner was beautifully flicked on by
M. Valentini, but the ball bounced off the post to safety.
The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0.
