Casimiro Petri started the match with the kick off. In the 6th minute of the match Eulalio Benet shot from a long distance.

After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Casimiro Petri managed to get in a good position for a shot. Menga38's supporters rose to their feet, but Casimiro Petri was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tobias Frutos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 15 minutes of play, Menga38's Casimiro Petri made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

A well-hit corner resulted in Everardo Formerio heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. An unexpectedly hard shot by Marco Vistruario in the 60th minute of play forced Menga38's goalkeeper Filomeno Crescencio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
