2811 punters turned up at Parco dei principi, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.

They fielded: Tronconi - Fioravanti, Limão, Krzyżaniak, Inzisa, Gragnani - Andidero, Camorani, Masera, Tsakalidis - Borlengo.

Bulla decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Hayashi - Eguiluz, Huaiquipan, Le Fort - Abud, Bear, Cordova, Portales, Mrabet - Gallardo, Altamirano.

Bulla were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. After 13 minutes, Bulla put themselves up 0 - 1, as N. Gallardo finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. The visitors' H. Mrabet took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 28 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Bulla. With 32 minutes played, W. Borlengo of RealCarrassi fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A. Portales could have put his team up another goal 33 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Bulla claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.

With 46 minutes played, the RealCarrassi coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. G. Enriques came on, J. Tronconi had to leave the fray. After 56 minutes of game time, M. Huaiquipan had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but G. Enriques was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. After 57 minutes, the defensive line of RealCarrassi created a counterattack through the middle that gave A. Gragnani a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. With 75 minutes gone, RealCarrassi's W. Borlengo had to leave the pitch after talking back to the referee and receiving his second booking. G. Enriques got a fingertip on M. Le Fort's shot from the left 76 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Bulla enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

G. Enriques performed admirably for RealCarrassi. A. Masera turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating Bulla player was without a doubt M. Le Fort. C. Cordova was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
