Preneste 1 - 4 Wizards (392565796)

1882 spectators arrived at il tempio della dea fortuna, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Juho Lönnfors was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jefferson Cambados and Riccardo Sergio. Preneste decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. They fielded: Belyanko - Caccavale, Greggio, Kamieniecki, Argenziano - Tamelli, Novati, Burgassi, Ciube - Trentin, D'Arrigo.

Wizards tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Serôdio - Leprévost, Paulaniemi, Hager, Hauser, Manquilef - Gaete, Thepyayon, Olarra - Tapia, González.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Preneste. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Wizards. One of many good crosses from A. Olarra on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by W. Tapia, who scored for Wizards. 0 - 1 C. Argenziano of Preneste received a yellow card after 31 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. V. Belyanko got a fingertip on A. Olarra's shot from the left 36 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Wizards almost scored after a swift counterattack 38 minutes into the game, but P. Gaete put the shot from the left flank just outside the goal. Wizards's P. Gaete left the field after 40 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was P. Lagos. W. Tapia could have added one to the visitors' lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. J. Paulaniemi came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over V. Belyanko but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

With 50 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed J. Manquilef of Wizards to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. 54 minutes into the match, Preneste's D. Trentin collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 1 - 2. With 67 minutes played, Wizards put themselves up 1 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was M. Hauser. The home crowd was not impressed when W. Tapia came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 75 minutes. Wizards were now up 1 - 4. Confident in their lead, Wizards's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Wizards had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Preneste's best player was E. D'Arrigo. However, G. Kamieniecki made a disastrous appearance. Most important Wizards player was P. Lagos. J. Manquilef turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
