League Play-Off

Stadio Angeli
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. Biagio Di Marino started the match with the kick off. Ernesto Di Renzo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Biagio Di Marino in the 7th minute of the match. Frank Barillari showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Damiano Monticelli in the 13th minute of the match. In the 14th minute, Ettore Bernardi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Ettore Bernardi got the opportunity to take care of a free kick it resulted in a really dangerous shot that almost went in the goal. Instead the ball went too high, a missed opportunity for Isolotto. When Bruno Lepori fell near the penalty area in the 17th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Angeli FC's protests and gave Bruno Lepori a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Angeli FC getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Bruno Lepori hit a great ball. The Isolotto fans' excitement grew in the 20th match minute when Isolotto's Ettore Bernardi looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. When Aldo Marini came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the Isolotto 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 Aldo Marini couldn't finish the play. If Damiano Monticelli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ernesto Di Renzo stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Biagio Di Marino's shot from short distance in the 27th minute. After 30 played minutes, Isolotto's Beppe Muto shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Frank Barillari 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 Isolotto reached it. Angeli FC's Frank Barillari played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ettore Bernardi in the 31st minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Isolotto's zone, Biagio Di Marino stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ernesto Di Renzo came out of the goal and Biagio Di Marino tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cesare Lenzi could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 34th minute of the match, but Ernesto Di Renzo made a huge save. With a little luck, Isolotto's Ernesto Di Renzo got control of the ball when Cesare Lenzi tried to sneak it across the goal line. Biagio Di Marino received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Ernesto Di Renzo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bernardo Di Cicco kicked well hit freekick during the 41st minute of the match. Biagio Di Marino blasted a shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ernesto Di Renzo having to make a save. Bernardo Di Cicco's late challenge caught a Angeli FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bernardo Di Cicco helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Isolotto's Bernardo Di Cicco got a free kick in the 44th minute. Cesare Lenzi had several of the Isolotto's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 45 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-1 score and a disappointed Ernesto Di Renzo as he didn't even see the shot coming. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ettore Bernardi was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ettore Bernardi in the 56th minute of play forced Angeli FC's goalkeeper Frank Barillari to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cesare Lenzi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ernesto Di Renzo having to interfere. A collision led to Angeli FC getting a freekick after 74 minutes play. Cristoforo Massimini hit a great ball. Frank Barillari made a fantastic save in the 75th minute, when Damiano Monticelli sent off a good shot on target. When Isolotto's Ettore Bernardi, in the 77th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Isolotto. In the 79th minute, Ettore Bernardi reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Frank Barillari. The goal made the score 1-2. Bernardo Di Cicco received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 95th minute. Frank Barillari tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Angeli FC supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Isolotto's performance. The match ended with a win for Isolotto.
