League Play-Off

Carpena
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Carpena FC's Emilio Masi started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Davide Fava's late challenge caught a Carpena FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Davide Fava helped the player get up and apologised. Davide Fava hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Carpena FC's Emilio Masi slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Andrea Chiarelli. That made the score 1-0 after 12 minutes of play. Emiliano Bosco sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 18th minute Fabiano Colaneri shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Corrado Imperatrice saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in San Cristoforo AFC's zone, Carlo Brillante stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Andrea Chiarelli came out of the goal and Carlo Brillante tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Davide Fava was shown his second yellow card after 20 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. A collision led to San Cristoforo AFC getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Davide Fava hit a great ball. In the 34th minute Emilio Masi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Andrea Chiarelli saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Corrado Imperatrice showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fabiano Colaneri, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. 48 minutes into the game, Carlo Brillante recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Andrea Chiarelli. Carlo Brillante showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-0.

Fabiano Colaneri fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 63rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Corrado Imperatrice having to interfere. Emiliano Bosco struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Corrado Imperatrice didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for San Cristoforo AFC. In the 71st minute, Carpena FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Fabiano Colaneri fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. If Filippo Marini had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Emilio Masi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Andrea Chiarelli was relentless in the 76th minute of the game. After having played for 78 minutes, Carlo Brillante managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Carpena FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Carlo Brillante was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Emiliano Bosco recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Filippo Marini received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Corrado Imperatrice tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dave Giuliani hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. Andrea Chiarelli made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Carlo Brillante in the 95th minute of play.
