Red Cards :
Occitania began without respect for hosting Padania and in first minutes created few chances but Padania’s goalkeeper Murriero was on place to stop the ball. Former Inter and AC Milan forward Maurizio Ganz tried to surprise Occitania’s golkeeper from free kick but J. Leban saved in a good style. Both sites were exchanging attacks and there were few good opportunities to score. In the second-half Padania sieged Occitania’s goal but Leban tremendously saved shots of Ganz and remained unbeaten till 83rd minute when Piovani finished Padania’s attack. Both teams played on a very high level and Padania’s players had to do more than their best to beat Occitania. Occitanian players played very ambitiously and created some good chances to score as well but were  unlucky. Just two minutes before the final whistle of the refree, Bastier was very close to make an equalizer but hist first shot stopped Murierro and the second one passed slightly the bar.
