The match saw many young players on the pitch, as usual in the Serie A Elite Cup: Lyons fielded Italy U20 prop Sergio Pelliccioli and the two 2003 Accademia delle Zebre players Alessandro Filoni and Bradley Henderson from the first minute; the Fiamme Oro have given space to center Ferdinando Fusari, born in 2004 with two appearances at the U20 Six Nations. Many elements of the respective under 18s have found space in the race list.
Two tries for each side: Henderson and Bolzoni for the Lyons in the first half, Costantini and Caruso for the Fiamme Oro in the second half. Two finishes in the last 8 minutes by Russo from Piacenza decide.
The Lyons have finished their matches in the Serie A Elite Cup and are first in the standings with 14 points, awaiting the last four matches involving Colorno, Mogliano, Vicenza and Fiamme Oro.
