A cross of Rafinha was headed by Dainelli to Mesto, but the ball was too high and just below him so he could only try to touch it with a bicycle-kick. Mesto succeeded and the ball went besides goalkeeper Handanovic inside the goal at the far post: 0-1.

Unfortunately Luca Toni had to leave the pitch during the 1st half with an injury and was substituted by Palladino. In the 2nd half Mr. Gasperini also brought Zuculini and Mesto in the field.
