The wings were the focus of most of Grifone-'s attacks today. Grifone- created a good opportunity to score 11 minutes into the match when W. Corleone's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Some great play up the middle by Grifone- led to a chance for R. Osborne to score after 14 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Grifone-'s E. Martel was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 17 minutes. Sants's E. Mayer-Berg was shown a yellow card after 23 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Sants's A. Buqué after 35 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Grifone-, with 74 percent of the ball.

Attacking on the wings was the choice for Grifone-, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. Grifone-'s I. Cosenza almost tied things up with 56 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. 60 minutes in, Grifone-'s S. Serer received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. With a shot curled in from just outside the middle of the penalty area after 65 minutes played, S. de Santiago of Grifone- made the score 1 - 1. 70 minutes into the game, Sants wanted to bring some new energy to their game. E. Mayer-Berg gave L. Bonfeld a quick hug as he left the field. After 70 minutes, the Sants coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving Z. Arciotti off the field. A. Masip took his place. After 77 minutes, Sants's A. Buqué fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! After a fine move down the middle 林. 迪芳 (Difang) nearly gave the home side a goal after 81 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. After 84 minutes, 林. 迪芳 (Difang) sent the corner kick right to W. Corleone who headed it sharply past the keeper. 2 - 1! Grifone- put themselves up 3 - 1 when V. Urquioja broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Possession in this half belonged to Grifone-, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

The most dominating Grifone- player was without a doubt 林. 迪芳 (Difang). I. Cosenza turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Sants player was A. Masip. However, A. Buqué made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
