CASTELLANA FONTANA VS SAMMARTINESE 1-2

‏The first half was really lacking in emotion, with both teams inclined not to discover each other. In the 9th minute, for the locals, Fanelli’s shot was deflected for a corner by Montipò; on the developments of the corner, Cecere anticipates his marker but sends it out to the near post. In the 28th minute, for the guests, a personal action by Zogu with a low shot to the side. In the 31st minute, good action by the Piacenza team along the right wing, shot by Cantiello from the edge of the area and saved by Neviani without problems. Shortly afterwards, Di Placido suffered a muscle injury and had to ask for a substitution. In the 43rd minute Alberici tries from outside the area, another safe save from Neviani. Just before the break, Sammartinese returns to show itself with a conclusion from Vezzani from at least 25 metres, aiming high.
The second half opens with the locals taking the lead: free kick, cross to the center of the area, scrum and winning header by Cantiello. Now the game changes face and the pace of the game becomes more intense, with Sammartinese making 4 substitutions, 3 of which at the same time; Furthermore, Sartori received two yellow cards within 6 minutes and so the home team remained with 10 men. The equalizer came thanks to a cross-shot by Santini from a free kick from the left wing, with a clear deviation from an opponent. In the 36th minute Zogu shoots high from the edge of the area.

Sammartinese continues to attack, taking advantage of their numerical superiority, and in the 43rd minute they claim a penalty for a handball in the local area: the referee instead lets the game continue. This is how we arrive in injury time. Zogu wins a free kick, contested by the Piacenza team, on the right edge of the area. Vezzani beats and Pittaluga saves, but the referee had already stopped the game to have the punishment repeated. Vezzani’s second performance is perfect and delivers the three points to Sammartinese, amidst protests from the locals.
