League Play-Off

Stadio Caluri
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Fulvio Delle Donne got the match started through his kick off. When Fulvio Delle Donne came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Manicomio Mombello fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Fulvio Delle Donne couldn't finish the play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Arrigo Ballerini during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Arrigo Ballerini hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Bernardo Pavlu was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Carmine Bonanni. After 9 played minutes Manicomio Mombello got a freekick which was hit by Aurelio Marzoli. In the 10th minute of the match Carmine Bonanni shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Bernardo Pavlu showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Caluri AFC's Alfredo Grieco got a good chance for a goal in the 13th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Manicomio Mombello's Anthony Franceschini got a good chance for a goal in the 15th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Enrico Farina fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bernardo Pavlu having to interfere. Enrico Farina recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Caluri AFC's zone, Anthony Franceschini stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Comunardo Migliorati came out of the goal and Anthony Franceschini tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 41 minutes into the game, Alfredo Grieco recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Bernardo Pavlu. Alfredo Grieco showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-0. Franco Pizziolo kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alfredo Grieco made a kick off. Arrigo Ballerini sent away a hard shot on goal in the 52nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After 59 played minutes, Caluri AFC's Bernardo Rullo shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bernardo Pavlu came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Caluri AFC reached it. After having played for 66 minutes, Anthony Franceschini managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Manicomio Mombello's supporters crossed their fingers, but Anthony Franceschini was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Comunardo Migliorati showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fulvio Delle Donne, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. Anthony Franceschini succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-1 in the 73rd playminute. The supporters of Manicomio Mombello booed when Caluri AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Emiliano Di Toro didn't get a good kick on the ball.
