League Play-Off

Stadio Crevari
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. Christian Biancone started the match with the kick off. 6 minutes into the game, Demetrio Visintin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Crevari's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ortì the free kick. Felice Cavaliere took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 7th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Fabiano Varglien. Crevari's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When Aurelio Faccio came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Crevari 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 Aurelio Faccio couldn't finish the play. If Anfilogino Giordano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 15 minutes into the match, Crevari's goal looked a bit too open when Cristoforo Maccarone came free, but Fabiano Varglien reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Christian Biancone blasted a shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Fabiano Varglien having to make a save. The Ortì fans' excitement grew in the 23rd match minute when Ortì's Cristoforo Maccarone 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. Christian Biancone sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Christian Biancone hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. Eugenio Russi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alvise Balzani went, in the 41st minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score.
