Centurions decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: Cioni - Mochelato, De Fusco, Aversa - Castegnero, Raffaelli, Appendino, Maddii, Banzato - Benini, Girotto.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for Nella. D. Meys looked great 8 minutes into the match after stopping a shot from the middle of the penalty area from the visitors' U. Raffaelli. 22 minutes into the game, M. Caprio had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came C. Palian. R. Benini came close to putting the visiting team one up 26 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but D. Meys managed to tip the ball to a corner. Nella had a chance to take the lead after C. Palian's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 27 minutes. The crowd was amused as L. Girotto of Centurions used a few interesting tricks and dribbles to get into the penalty box. The finish by D. Castegnero wasn't very amusing, however, as the ball flew way over the crossbar. The visiting M. Mochelato was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 38 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. A well placed corner kick from L. Girotto was followed by F. Aversa's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for Centurions, the score now 0 - 2. Some fine movement on the left led to a Centurions goal after 41 minutes, making it 0 - 3. R. Benini was noted down as the scorer. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Centurions, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

The home crowd was not impressed when D. Castegnero came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 59 minutes. Centurions were now up 0 - 4. The players of Centurions now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Centurions had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

M. Benak performed admirably for Nella. D. Meys was a disappointment, however. Centurions's best player was U. Raffaelli. M. De Fusco turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
