The final minutes were still fatal for Ponte Buggianese, who were caught up in injury time by Cenaia. It ended 2-2 at the Pertini and for the Pontegiani it was a half-condemnation to relegation.

And to say that the match had started well for the team coached by mister Vettori. In the 7th minute Gargani took advantage of a double mistake, committed by Di Bella and Baglini, and gave Ponte Buggianese the lead. A few minutes later Granucci doubled the score. In the 15th minute Martinelli hit the post by chance, confirming the excellent start of the home team.

In the second half, the joke becomes more paterialized in the last twenty minutes. Rizzato capitulates in the 74th minute on a half-bicycle kick goal scored by Neri. Rossi almost equalizes, which comes in a mocking way in the 91st minute, with a header that beats an innocent Rizzato. In the minutes of recovery, Asara and Martinelli try to get the game back on its feet for Ponte Buggianese, but they find Baglini in front of them, who performs two real miracles. At the end of the game, sad faces in the Pontigiana house, because the draw leaves the red and whites in second to last position, and with a gap of 10 points on Perignano. The nightmare of the scissors is just around the corner.
