boateng seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 11 minutes, GENUA did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, E. Ciszewski was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 1. 18 minutes in, boateng's S. Chiusoli received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. T. Galarza was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so GENUA's S. Rivolta had to come off the bench. Some fine movement on the left led to a GENUA goal after 27 minutes, making it 0 - 2. D. Vila was noted down as the scorer. M. Valdovinos increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of GENUA lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 43 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for I. Hielkema who increased GENUA's lead to 0 - 4. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Possession in this half belonged to GENUA, who controlled the ball 61 percent of the time.

M. Melato 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. De Martino but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. GENUA increased their lead after 80 minutes when F. Schrammel broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 81 minutes boateng's D. Menchinella contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. boateng's J. Banda was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 83 minutes. A drive down the left side allowed D. Vila to get in close and score another goal for GENUA after 85 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. There was concern in the stands when, at the 86 minute mark, GENUA's F. Schrammel hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. An accurate cross from V. Cicatiello of boateng was met with a wonderful glancing header from S. Chiusoli, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 1 - 6. With 88 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed A. Driouech of GENUA to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 1 - 7. After 89 minutes GENUA's D. Vila limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. boateng had no available replacements when J. Banda had to leave the game after 89 minutes because of a pulled tendon, leaving the team a man short. E. Ciszewski of GENUA took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 89 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 1 - 8. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by GENUA, with 77 percent of the ball.

The most dominating boateng player was without a doubt Z. Went. N. Di Girolamo turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important GENUA player was M. Melato. On the other hand, S. Rivolta's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 8.
