Sicilia 2 - 0 Banana (362421944)

Dark skies made the crowd of 631 at Antonino Ruvolo Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Rein Jongmans was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sascha Schorderet and Roberto Ortega. Sicilia tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. They fielded: Awat - Zappa, Erdem, Nanotti, Łepkowski - Stevanella, Del Pia, Erquist - Bandiera, Babieca, Pagnoni.

Banana had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. The following players took the field: Giebels - Micucci, Hilmy, Beribashi, 健青 (Jianqing), Mirabile - Hartmann, Zamora, Brivitello, Valentino - Tiberi.

Sicilia were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Banana. A foul after 4 minutes resulted in a free kick. A. Stevanella cannonballed it, giving the home team the lead 1 - 0. 湯. 健青 (Jianqing) came close to levelling the score 19 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. 39 minutes in, Sicilia's F. Del Pia received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Players in Sicilia heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Sicilia mounted an inspired counterattack down the right wing after 42 minutes, but G. Erquist was unable to convert from short range. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Banana, with 60 percent of the ball.

Sicilia put themselves up 2 - 0 when P. Bandiera broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. A. Pagnoni left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 55 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. G. Cobbe was the replacement. The referee showed Sicilia's P. Łepkowski the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The Sicilia players could smell victory in the air. D. Nanotti wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for A. Vilar after 70 minutes. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Sicilia coach let P. Daffara replace O. Awat after 85 minutes. A. Vilar was handed the Sicilia captain's armband. Banana enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

G. Cobbe performed admirably for Sicilia. On the other hand, A. Stevanella's play was disheartening. Most important Banana player was G. Zamora. F. Valentino on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
