League Play-Off

Cogorno
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fulvio Ragusa took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, FC Cordino's goal looked a bit too open when Amedeo Giusto came free, but Antonio Petroni reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Antonio Petroni made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fulvio Ragusa in the 4th minute of play. Andrea Pavia's late challenge caught a FC Cordino's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Andrea Pavia helped the player get up and apologised. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Amedeo Giusto managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bergamo's supporters rose to their feet, but Amedeo Giusto was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Antonio Petroni breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Fulvio Ragusa struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Antonio Petroni didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bergamo. In the 19th minute Amedeo Giusto shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Antonio Petroni saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 23rd minute, Fulvio Ragusa got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Amedeo Giusto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. FC Cordino's Antonio Petroni played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Amedeo Giusto in the 30th minute of play. 35 minutes into the match, FC Cordino's goal looked a bit too open when Fulvio Ragusa came free, but Antonio Petroni reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Amedeo Giusto sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 38 minutes into the match, Bergamo's Fulvio Ragusa sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Antonio Petroni narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 39th minute, Fulvio Ragusa left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bergamo fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. In the 43rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Bergamo's goalkeeper Dave Tammaro, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Andrea Pavia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Cesare Como stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Fulvio Ragusa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 51st minute. Antonio Petroni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Amedeo Giusto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Antonio Petroni having to interfere. Amedeo Giusto scored 0-2 in the 57th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Antonio Petroni, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The supporters of Bergamo booed when FC Cordino was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alvise Moretti didn't get a good kick on the ball. Cosimo Caponera kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. Amedeo Giusto came free with the goalkeeper in the 64th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Antonio Petroni could save by the left post. Dave Tammaro came out of the goal in the 67th minute to try and stop a shot by FC Cordino's Bernardo Baggio. But to his dismay, Bernardo Baggio quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. 71 minutes into the game, Bruno Bulla was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC Cordino's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bergamo the free kick. After 72 played minutes FC Cordino got a freekick which was hit by Bruno Bulla. When the match clock showed 73 minutes, the score became 1-3 when Amedeo Giusto sped through FC Cordino's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Antonio Petroni. Fulvio Ragusa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Antonio Petroni having to interfere. Cesare Como hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. When the match was over Bergamo could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than FC Cordino throughout the match.
