League Play-Off

Stadio Pilastro
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alessandro Santo took the kick off in the first half of the match. Everyone was convinced a goal was close when Pilastro's Alessandro Santo in the 11th minute lifted the ball towards the upper right corner, but Antonello Aversano was perfectly placed and prevented a goal for Castel Maggiore through an amazing save. In the 15thth minute of the game Alessandro Santo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Castel Maggiore's Antonello Aversano was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Emanuele Capobianco showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Comunardo De Felice, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Armin Pasquino got free with Antonello Aversano in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Armin Pasquino's late challenge caught a Castel Maggiore's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Armin Pasquino helped the player get up and apologised. In the 23rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Pilastro's goalkeeper Emanuele Capobianco, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Antonello Aversano made an important save on a dangerous shot by Armin Pasquino in the 32nd minute. Alvise Cherubini received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Emanuele Capobianco tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Alvise Cherubini had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Comunardo De Felice stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Alvise Cherubini who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 52ndth minute tested the skills of Emanuele Capobianco when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Alvise Cherubini got free with Emanuele Capobianco in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Antonello Aversano stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Alessandro Santo's shot from short distance in the 69th minute. Comunardo De Felice might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Emanuele Capobianco. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Comunardo De Felice ran back to his position shaking his head. Pilastro's Emanuele Capobianco proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Pilastro from getting a goal against them. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Alessandro Santo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Pilastro's supporters rose to their feet, but Alessandro Santo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Antonello Aversano breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Armin Pasquino scored 1-0 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Antonello Aversano, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 81 minutes into the match, Castel Maggiore's goal looked a bit too open when Alessandro Santo came free, but Antonello Aversano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Dave Tundo kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. After 87 minutes, Dino De Marco mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Castel Maggiore and the Pilastro players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Pilastro booed when Castel Maggiore was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 87 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dino De Marco didn't get a good kick on the ball. Pilastro's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
