League Play-Off

Miramare
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ciro Tiberio started the match with the kick off. Bianco Colantonio fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Armando Capuozzi having to interfere. In the 6th minute Bianco Colantonio shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Armando Capuozzi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bufalotta FC's Bianco Del Monaco proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save Bufalotta FC from getting a goal against them. After having played for 9 minutes, Federico Toppi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Miramare's supporters crossed their fingers, but Federico Toppi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ciro Tiberio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Armando Capuozzi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Ciro Tiberio had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The attack was good, but when Bianco Colantonio in the 15th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Emilio Iori came free with the goalkeeper in the 18th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Bianco Del Monaco could save by the left post. 20 minutes into the match, Miramare's goal looked a bit too open when Bianco Colantonio came free, but Armando Capuozzi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Federico Toppi was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 23rd minute. Miramare's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Federico Toppi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bianco Del Monaco having to interfere. The nice shot from Emilio Iori in the 28thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Bianco Del Monaco had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bianco Colantonio in the 29th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Armando Capuozzi saved Miramare from getting behind. Bianco Colantonio received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Armando Capuozzi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 38th minute, Alexander Carnevale hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Armando Capuozzi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Ciro Tiberio went, in the 42nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Ciro Tiberio struck a weak shot in the 45th minute. Armando Capuozzi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bufalotta FC.

After a defensive mix-up in Miramare's zone, Ciro Tiberio stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Armando Capuozzi came out of the goal and Ciro Tiberio tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 73rd minute, Federico Toppi made a precise shot to the right of Bianco Del Monaco. Bufalotta FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. Alberigo Farina hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. An unexpected shot in the 80th minute by Ciro Tiberio got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.

Bianco Del Monaco took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emilio Iori, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the final whistle sounded Bufalotta FC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Miramare.
