Pontedera imposes a second draw in a row on Torres, for the first time, the Sardinians failed to score despite having possession for long periods, creating chances and confirming that they were enjoying an outstanding period of form. At the Vanni Sanna, the match ends 0-0 between the Sardinians and the Tuscans in the match of the 9th day of Group B. Given the opportunities created and the expressed volume of the game, the hosts would have deserved to score at the same time. Pontedera’s point was earned thanks to a strong-willed play, sacrifice and a magnificent putting in the effort, trying to restart the game, but never finding the time or place to make an impact. In news, Alfonso Greco will have to make do without Liviero and Giorgico, who were injured last Sunday in Perugia, and Idda, who had to succumb to a broken finger, while Diakite returned to the bench. Antonelli, Fabiani and Dametto sit ahead of Zaccagno in a 3-4-2-1 starting formation. Kujabi and Mastinu dropped into the center of the field, and Zekka and Sester were on the flanks. Ruocco and Scotto support Fischnaller. On the other hand, Max Canzi will have to do without long-time patient Serretti, and Salvadori has joined Primavera. The usual 3-4-2-1 mirrors the opponent’s formation with Stancampiano confirmed between the posts, Espeche in the center rearguard, Calvani and Guidi occupying the hands. Perretta and Angori on the outside lanes, Ignacchiti and Catanese on the mid lane. Benedetti and Janesi are on the front line, supporting Nicastro. After the initial stage of preparation, the hosts begin to shoot dust, Scotto solves this problem with a right-footed shot from outside, which ends just to the right of Stancampiano when we were in the 10th minute. During the development of the second corner, the Sardinians hit the crossbar with the talented Mastin, in the 17th minute a big opportunity for the home team: the usual Scotto catches Ruocco in the penalty area, who appears in front of Stancampiano in a difficult position, evades him. by placing it in the center of a “small area” where Fischnaller cannot find the target. Canzi runs for cover, swapping Scotto and Ruocco’s markings, Pontedera achieving the desired results with no further risk barring Rocco’s left-footed shot in the 36th minute to the right of Stancampiano. Granata suffered a chill in the 42nd minute when Stancampiano went to ground with a muscle problem, but quickly recovered. In the second half, the Tuscans tried to attack high up the pitch with more confidence, but the home side often found space to escape the opposition’s pressure, communicating accurately and effectively. The league leaders went wild: in the 13th minute, Scotto entered the penalty area and was met by Stancampiano. The home side came very close to taking the lead just before the half-hour mark, with Fischnaller first caught by Scotto and his right-footed shot cleared by Stancampiano. Zekki Kudjabi’s corner cross again finds the edge in the box for the former Fermanagh man to hit the post from a good position. Meanwhile, Canzi removes Benedetti for Benedetti, promoting Catanese into attacking midfield, then Calvani due to the aftermath of a tough clash with Cujabi, Provenzano and Delpupo for Catanese, and Ignacchiti pushing phosphorus into midfield. Greco relies on the talent of Diakite and the freshness of Goglino and Menabo, but the Sardinians’ attacks run into a wall. Indeed, in the final, Janesi should have landed a knockout right hand, but his shot from a good position was deflected by Antonelli.
