Today, Alaricchio's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 13 minutes into the game, Vakbattyán seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. J. Tarvanen of Alaricchio received a yellow card after 29 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Alaricchio's X. Crecente was shown a yellow card after 36 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It might be a while before the fans see Alaricchio's E. Acquaviva again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 37 minute mark. He was replaced by G. Brini. Alaricchio were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. 41 minutes into the game, G. Brini was a hair's breadth away from giving Alaricchio the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by P. Kleier saved the home team that time. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Alaricchio enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

The Vakbattyán players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. P. Stoenescu had a good try after 66 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. Vakbattyán hit back on the counter attack 67 minutes into the game with a free kick. Initially it seemed wasted, hit wide towards the wing. But there was an idea to it - the ball was then crossed towards R. Trapletti, who was waiting for it in the box. That's 1 - 0! Don't forget to thank the set pieces coach for that idea! 76 minutes in, Vakbattyán appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. 88 minutes into the game, Vakbattyán had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Alaricchio, with 60 percent of the ball.

D. Stuttenborn performed admirably for Vakbattyán. On the other hand, B. Böndő's play was disheartening. Alaricchio's best player was P. Stoenescu. However, X. Crecente made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
