29077 punters turned up at neusciraisconfitto Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.

6 minutes into the match projuvemagic's Y. Weissberg head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. Maindove's J. Calquinhas gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 7 minutes with a superb strike from the right. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from B. Zambon after 12 minutes, and prevented Maindove from going up another goal. The Maindove players could smell victory in the air. P. Retschnik wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Głodowski after 18 minutes. B. Zambon was, after 18 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper G. Collauti made the save. M. Cargiolli 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 G. Collauti but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Maindove had most of the ball, with 65 percent of possession.

The coach of Maindove was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 56 minutes, A. Tomášek came on for R. Głodowski. After 72 minutes, projuvemagic raised their score by one when Z. Trojánek's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by F. Bazoli. 1 - 1. 72 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Maindove substitution. G. Vallejo Ortiz came on for J. Calquinhas. Down the middle came E. Ronzoni, making a fantastic play that nearly had Maindove take the lead after 76 minutes, but G. Collauti preserved the tie. The most controversial moment of the game was likely the penalty given after 81 minutes. Maindove's D. Leo kept his concentration, despite the upset crowd, and calmly put the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 2. The home crowd cheered when, after 86 minutes, M. Folli's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. A drive down the left side allowed G. Del Bufalo to get in close and score another goal for Maindove after 87 minutes, taking the score to 1 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to Maindove, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

F. Bazoli performed admirably for projuvemagic. S. Srour was a disappointment, however. Most important Maindove player was G. Vallejo Ortiz. However, A. Tomášek made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
