League Play-Off

Stadio Meda
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. Antonello Pili started the match with the kick off. After 4 played minutes, Meda's Anselmo Petrocchi shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Dennis Savini 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 Meda reached it. Dennis Savini showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fedele Romanese, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. After 16 played minutes Latina Scalo got a freekick which was hit by Fedele De Sanctis. Latina Scalo's Dennis Savini played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fedele Romanese in the 18th minute of play. Adriano Gigli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Latina Scalo's Ferdinando Pio got a good chance for a goal in the 26th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Adriano Gigli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Beppe Faiella fell near the penalty area in the 30th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Latina Scalo's protests and gave Beppe Faiella a yellow card for diving instead. In the 30th minute, Beppe Faiella hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ferdinando Cesaroni received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Dennis Savini tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Fedele Romanese to make the kick off. 54 minutes into the match, Meda's goal looked a bit too open when Antonello Pili came free, but Ennio Apicella reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Meda's Ferdinando Cesaroni got a free kick in the 56th minute. A hard and well directed shot from Fedele Lusi led 57 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Meda's Ennio Apicella became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 1-1. Antonello Pili received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Ennio Apicella tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ferdinando Pio sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Meda's Ennio Apicella got control of the ball when Ferdinando Pio tried to sneak it across the goal line. A hard shot 81 in the game by Ferdinando Pio from a close distance when the talented Ennio Apicella managed to make a qualified save. Meda's players were relieved. Antonello Pili sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 84th match minute, Meda was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Antonello Grasso to maneuver through the defense.
