Oscar Della Bianca was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Georg Riegler and Bogumił Kubina. tempio decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Sechi - Porvari, Holzfäller, Baatz - Cingolani, Sporina, Becattini, Calligaro - Bini, Mazzucchi, La Pesara.

Doz tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Lineup: van Schuppen - Aguilar, Correggia, Dei Rossi, Bernardini, Maiolo - Susanu, Vaghi, Francioli - Malaguti, Eleftherakis.

After a fine move down the middle T. Holzfäller nearly gave the home side a goal after 4 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Doz almost scored after a counterattack 9 minutes into the match, but A. Francioli took a shot from the left that landed harmlessly in the side of the net. Some great play up the middle by tempio led to a chance for M. Mazzucchi to score after 17 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. As the 19 minute mark approached, the Doz coach decided it was time for a substitution. A. Francioli reluctantly made way for T. Luovi on the pitch. After 27 minutes of play, D. Becattini gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. With 30 minutes played, W. Bini of tempio fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After 31 minutes, R. La Pesara put tempio ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. tempio enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

The coach of tempio was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, V. Prunotto came on for D. Sporina. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, M. Calligaro took over the role of being the tempio captain. K. Eleftherakis of Doz received a yellow card after 60 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. N. Cingolani wanted to play on, but the tempio coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 71 minutes into the game by G. Puliga. The bench was restless, and with 80 minutes passed Doz's coach gave P. Kołowski the opportunity the player had been hoping for. L. Dei Rossi reluctantly left the field. Given a free kick close to the byline, tempio tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let D. Becattini slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 3 - 0, 80 minutes into the game. After this, you could see that the players of tempio were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. tempio's O. Baatz increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 82 minutes. tempio had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

tempio's top performer was clearly M. Calligaro. V. Prunotto turned in a dismal performance, however. T. Luovi performed admirably for Doz. However, M. Malaguti made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 0.
