League Play-Off

Mirazzano
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Fedele Alfonsi made the kick off which started today's match. Fedele Alfonsi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. When Anfilogino Pardini came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Mirazzano FC 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 Anfilogino Pardini couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fedele Alfonsi in the 12th minute of play forced Mirazzano FC's goalkeeper Camillo Bomba to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Fortunato Guarrera sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Fortunato Guarrera might have been able to make a better finish in the 15th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Camillo Bomba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Fortunato Guarrera ran back to his position shaking his head. Mirazzano FC's Cesare Casadei got a good chance for a goal in the 18th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After having played for 20 minutes, Davide Pezzella managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mirazzano FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Davide Pezzella was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Davide Pezzella received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 24th minute. Alberigo Mansueto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Mirazzano FC booed when Ladino was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Emiliano Di Mattia didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 36th minute, Eugenio Gentili hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Camillo Bomba showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fedele Alfonsi, who was totally free with the ball in the 37th minute. After 41 minutes of play, Ladino's Fortunato Guarrera made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Camillo Bomba was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience thought a goal was coming when Davide Pezzella got free with Alberigo Mansueto in the 45th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Mirazzano FC were awarded a corner in the 56th minute after Ladino's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Aldo Formica took the corner. Mirazzano FC's Aldo Formica was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Alberigo Mansueto in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Mirazzano FC's Camillo Bomba proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 60th minute of the match, managed to save Mirazzano FC from getting a goal against them. Davide Pezzella struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Alberigo Mansueto didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mirazzano FC. Achille Biancone charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Achille Biancone the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Ladino's Achille Biancone got a free kick in the 64th minute. In the 71st minute Fedele Alfonsi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Camillo Bomba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 80 minutes into the match, Cesare Casadei notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Ladino's Alberigo Mansueto. Alberigo Mansueto was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Cesare Casadei fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alberigo Mansueto having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Cesare Casadei managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mirazzano FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Cesare Casadei was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alberigo Mansueto breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cesare Casadei blasted a shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Alberigo Mansueto having to make a save. After 90 played minutes Mirazzano FC got a freekick which was hit by Ettore Sorge. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Fedele Alfonsi in the 94th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Camillo Bomba prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Cesare Casadei received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Alberigo Mansueto tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
