League Play-Off

Pinzano
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alessandro Zappacosta took the kick off in the first half of the match. Davide Quadrini received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Diego Volpe tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 8th minute, Alfonso Genovesi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 14th minute, Davide Quadrini made a precise shot to the right of Diego Volpe. Pinzano's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Cesare Morandin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Diego Volpe read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 17th minute of play. In the 19th minute Davide Quadrini shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Diego Volpe saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 21stth minute of the game Davide Quadrini who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Pinzano's Diego Volpe was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The audience was convinced that Alessandro Zappacosta's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Achille Ferraris was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. In the 27th match minute, Pinzano was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Alfonso Genovesi to maneuver through the defense. Diego Volpe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ferdinando Giacomini, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. Ferdinando Giacomini took the ball and in the 33 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Diego Volpe. Diego Volpe dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. After a rather tough play, Pinzano's Cosimo Allegretti got a free kick in the 36th minute. Alessandro Zappacosta blasted a shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Achille Ferraris having to make a save. Francesco Corleone succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-2 in the 46th playminute. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Davide Quadrini was the one to do the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Pinzano's zone, Ferdinando Giacomini stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Diego Volpe came out of the goal and Ferdinando Giacomini tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Gainago FC's Filippo Potenza got a free kick in the 60th minute. 69 minutes into the game, Cosimo Allegretti was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Pinzano's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Gainago FC the free kick. In the 69th minute, Cosimo Allegretti hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Davide Quadrini fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Diego Volpe having to interfere. If Ferdinando Giacomini had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alessandro Zappacosta recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 95th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Francesco Corleone might have been able to make a better finish in the 97th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Achille Ferraris. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Francesco Corleone ran back to his position shaking his head. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Gainago FC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
