League Play-Off

Stadio Argate Brianz
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Amedeo Tornese made the kick off which started today's match. When Christian Bucciarelli came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Torri Di Quartesolo fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Christian Bucciarelli couldn't finish the play. In the 7th minute, Dennis Corsi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Amedeo Tornese had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 13 played minutes, Torri Di Quartesolo's Eraldo Balboni shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ettore Fava 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 Torri Di Quartesolo reached it. After a defensive mix-up in Torri Di Quartesolo's zone, Carlo Loreto stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dario Giolo came out of the goal and Carlo Loreto tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 24th minute Ernesto Mazzei shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dario Giolo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Amedeo Tornese in the 28th minute of play forced Argate Brianza FC's goalkeeper Ettore Fava to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Dennis Corsi hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. In the 31st minute Christian Bucciarelli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ettore Fava saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Bruno Nobile had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Through an outstanding action, after 38 minutes, Dario Giolo successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Carlo Loreto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dario Giolo having to interfere. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ernesto Mazzei to strike the kick off in the second half. Christian Bucciarelli could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 54th minute of the match, but Ettore Fava made a huge save. Dario Giolo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ernesto Mazzei, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Carlo Loreto recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 61st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Carlo Loreto in the 68th minute of play forced Torri Di Quartesolo's goalkeeper Dario Giolo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match clock showed 71 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Christian Bucciarelli sped through Argate Brianza FC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Ettore Fava. After 77 minutes, Bruno Nobile mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Argate Brianza FC and the Torri Di Quartesolo players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Torri Di Quartesolo booed when Argate Brianza FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bruno Nobile didn't get a good kick on the ball. Carlo Loreto fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dario Giolo having to interfere. Dario Giolo came out of the goal in the 88th minute to try and stop a shot by Argate Brianza FC's Ernesto Mazzei. But to his dismay, Ernesto Mazzei quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. In the 96th minute, Carlo Loreto left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Argate Brianza FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Argate Brianza FC had played much better football throughout.
