The 3.000 people in the stadium can watch a lot of stars but also good sportive moments: first of all the entry of the two teams and the two team anthems: Italy and Monaco. Then the kick-off of the President Mario Di Natale. First goal is for Giancarlo Fisichella at 2’ of the first half, the second goal is given by Fernando Alonso and the temporary 3-2 is thanks to Sergio Perez. It seemed perfect but, with the accident of Sandro Cois that has worried everyone, the Star Team for the Children goes in goal twice winning the match.
