He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Coroglio AFC reached it.

Edmondo Piccirilli ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Edmondo Piccirilli in the 92nd minute of play forced Palazzina's goalkeeper Federico Mazzini to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
