They split the stakes Sienna And Pontedera, in the Tuscan derby played tonight at the Stadio Artemio Franchi for the 25th round of group B of the third series: final result 1-1. Three days later, the Bianconeri failed to capitalize on the advantage gained in the first faction, allowing themselves to score a goal from Markandally in the fifth minute of stoppage time, breaking a fast that had lasted 365 minutes. It was not the most memorable game from a technical point of view, the first half was blocked, and in the second half the two teams struggled and made a lot of mistakes during the build phase. The disadvantage of the landlords was that in the second part they belittled themselves too much, trusting the obviously more active Pontedera than in the first faction. The guests for their part – albeit not in the most brilliant moment – overcame the obstacles, pressing the entire second 45 minutes, signing another comeback this season, a sign of a team that believes in it. Thus, the situation in the standings for the bianconeri and grenades, which remains unchanged, Siena is in sixth place and Pontedera is seventh by one point, in the fight for the playoffs, it becomes very interesting. For the record: in the 4-3-2-1 starting formation proposed by Guido Pagliuka, Motoc made his debut from the 1st minute, and Ricciardi moved to the left. In the center of Castorani next to Picchi and Buglio. On the trocar of Belloni and Di Santo in support of Paloschi. On the other side, Max Kanzi has to deal with the absence of Baroni and Siano, and Aurelio, as you know, moved to Palermo today. A 3-4-1-2 system should be chosen with Guidi in the defensive line along with Espeche and Martinelli. In midfield, Izzillo wins the Catanese vote along with Ladinetti, with Benedetti backing Cioffi and Nicastro. In the beginning, the two formations study each other, Siena shows territorial dominance but fails to adequately supply the Paloschi, on the other side of the Pontedera shows a linear maneuver to the trocar, where Benedetti and Cioffi are systematically expected. The absolute balance is shattered in the 42nd minute when the Bianconeri unlock the fight with Paloschi’s authentic skill, able to harpoon Buglio and send Stancampiano behind him, folding the handkerchief, detonating a strong right leg kick. In the second half, a more determined Pontedera emerged from the dressing rooms, Siena, for their part, made the mistake of never offering themselves forward, retreating to their own half of the field, giving courage to their opponents. As the hour passes, Kanzi plays all his cards, inserting slippery Ianesi, Catanese, Bonfanti, Mutton and, in the finale, Markandally. Half an hour later, an episode that changes the course of the match: Castorani interferes disorganized with a high leg against Espeche, for Churchi the interference deserves a red card. From that moment it was a monologue for grenades, in the black-and-white zone, skirmishes followed until the 95th minute, when Markandally’s strike became decisive. Let’s take a look at the best and worst of the match:
