League Play-Off

Vicolungo
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Aldo Anzolin started the match with the kick off. Dennis Di Giandomenico recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 4th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 6 minutes into the match, Molara's goalkeeper Carlo Marcolongo had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Dennis Di Giandomenico. 10 minutes into the match, Dennis Di Giandomenico had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Carlo Marcolongo. Molara's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Dennis Di Giandomenico was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. If Aldo Anzolin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Alfonso Di Sante's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Daniele Gagliano was relentless in the 20th minute of the game. If Alfonso Di Sante had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alfonso Di Sante scored 1-1 in the 26th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Daniele Gagliano, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 31 minutes into the match, Aldo Anzolin notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Vicolungo FC's Daniele Gagliano. Daniele Gagliano was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 34th minute, Emiliano Costa fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Dennis Di Giandomenico fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Carlo Marcolongo having to interfere. Dennis Di Giandomenico sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After the first half Molara were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

If Aldo Anzolin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dennis Di Giandomenico struck a weak shot in the 67th minute. Carlo Marcolongo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Vicolungo FC. Carlo Marcolongo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dennis Di Giandomenico, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 73 minutes of play, Vicolungo FC's Dennis Di Giandomenico made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Carlo Marcolongo was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, Vicolungo FC's Federico Cala got a free kick in the 78th minute. 81 minutes had been played when some careless play by Vicolungo FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Bianco Flammini was slow to take the kick. During this time Molara's players had a chance to rest. If Emiliano Costa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 90 minutes, Ciccio Crema mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Molara and the Vicolungo FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 90 played minutes Molara got a freekick which was hit by Ciccio Crema. Amedeo Arcari, 91 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
