The Vicenza ends the first half 1-0 ahead on the pitch Padua thanks to the network of Of death. The hosts have two great opportunities to take the lead, but they are punished for their first mistake.
In the news. In the first minutes Padova tries to push, but Vicenza defends well and also tries to restart. In the 12th minute, De Col’s cross shot was deflected for a corner by Faedo. Shortly after, Cretella’s attempt was blocked by the red and white defence. Golemic booked in the 19th minute. In the 27th minute there was a great opportunity for the home team: Bortolussi headed the ball off the post and then into the arms of Confente. In the 33rd minute, Ferrari’s first intention was the ball, with the ball in the hands of Donnarumma. A minute later Raddrezza shoots from long range, Confente saves at the feet of Zamparo, who incredibly sends the ball out with an empty net. In the 37th minute the injured Tronchin is out in Vicenza and Pellegrini is in. In the 40th minute the guests took the lead: defensive error by Padova who gives the ball to Ferrari, who serves with the heel of Pellegrini, the ball then goes to Of death, who unleashes an uncatchable left-footed shot from the edge for Donnarumma.

In the 47th minute Cretella shoots on goal, blocks Confente. The first half ends with Vicenza leading 1-0. Padova need three goals to go through.
