1578 punters turned up at Stadio delle Termopili, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Miguel Guerrero was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Serban Popescu and Asbjørn Rudihagen. Alètheia had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Levrini - Maciel, Leanza, Estorch - Czubała, Kuutila, Vorobbiof, Misuraca, Irayueta - Realmuto, Morri.

Forze decided to use a 5-4-1 set up. The following players had been chosen: Falcés - Malentacchi, Abdel, Bolinth, Schillaci, Godano - Raillard, Hirvonen, Poux, á Kirkjuteigi - Genty.

C. Godano had a good try after 26 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. 28 minutes into the game, W. Genty had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. 40 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Alètheia substitution. E. Sieraal came on for H. Kuutila. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Forze, with 51 percent of the ball.

As the 46 minute mark approached, the Alètheia coach decided it was time for a substitution. G. Czubała reluctantly made way for D. Garden on the pitch. Alètheia broke through on the left 51 minutes into the game, with S. Misuraca firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. Alètheia's counterattacks created a good chance for A. Realmuto on the right after 54 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Alètheia put in a good effort on the right, but M. Morri saw his volley fly wide of the mark 58 minutes into the game. E. Sieraal left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. K. Niedzwiecki was the replacement. Alètheia's J. Vorobbiof got himself booked for a foul. The visitors' equaliser seemed sure to come after 69 minutes, following a one on one situation around the left hand side of the goal area, but M. Levrini got the best of it, blocking the shot from R. Malentacchi. Forze enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

Most important Alètheia player was D. Maciel. M. Levrini on the other hand, had a terrible day. C. Godano performed admirably for Forze. F. Falcés was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 0.
