The following players had been chosen: Fida - Odino, Fűrész, Barros, Pira - Olavarrieta, Armezzani, Gomoľák, Norheim, Rybaczuk - Beuselinck.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Pinturicchio. Starters: Zancoghi - Wehrheim, Siveri, Mortangen - Buzási, Barzanti, Forsstad, Francia, Sette - Schlanger, Zill.

It was obvious that Fontane were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Pressing was the tactic of the day for Pinturicchio. Some things can only be learned through experience, and G. Fűrész should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Pinturicchio a goal with 17 minutes of the match played. Pinturicchio had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 19 minutes in when J. Forsstad came up alone against R. Fida who managed a block. Pinturicchio's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. C. Dominelli was called on to replace Pinturicchio's B. Wehrheim after 25 minutes following a nasty collision. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Fontane, with 54 percent of the ball.

Fontane were very close to putting themselves one up after 52 minutes as E. Olavarrieta got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. 58 minutes in, Pinturicchio's J. Forsstad received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Pinturicchio almost scored after a counterattack 61 minutes into the match, but O. Sette took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. 66 minutes into the game, A. Barros had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came F. Mozelt. 70 minutes into the game, Fontane wanted to bring some new energy to their game. J. Gomoľák gave U. Ricci a quick hug as he left the field. L. Armezzani would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. H. Schuijer entered the game for Fontane as the match clock showed 88 minutes.
