And then came the day of Novara’s first championship victory, which turned Pergolettese upside down from the penalty spot at the most difficult moment. 2-1 in favor of the Novara team, who beat the Crema team in a tense, courageous and never boring match. The first opportunity to score comes in the 9th as Barity counters coast to coast on a corner for Novara, the Crema captain flies toe to toe with Desjardins, shoots around but the goalkeeper is inspired and says no with a stunning intervention. This is the prelude to the goal, which is scored in the 17th minute, next to a Pergo side foul, a free kick is heard, the ball hits Mazzarani, who, guiltily, is given free rein. Desjardins overcomes himself but can do nothing after Figoli heads the ball into the net to make it 1-0. In the 29th minute again Pergolettese comes close to scoring with Mazzarani coming in from the right, his output powerful and central. Desjardins saves the ball and gets shaken. Novara makes his mark in the 40th minute with a very powerful shot from 20 meters, which Sonchin parries, improving his reflexes. In the second half, in the 55th minute, the turning point in the game occurs – Novara’s first penalty. A clear foul by Arini on Donadio on the line of the penalty area, D’Orazio appears from the penalty spot and displaces Sonchin, scoring a goal – 1:1. But it was Novara who came close to making it 2-1 in the 64th minute when Rossetti crossed from the left into a small area. However, his kick was blocked by Crema’s goalkeeper. Pergolettese returns to trouble Desjardins with Barity’s unrealistic shot from 35 meters, which is easily blocked by the Novara goalkeeper. And finally, the key episode comes: Mr. Mazzoni points to the penalty just as Novara scored 2-1 to Donadio. “Whistle” Prato is adamant, so Rossetti is on the spot and does not make mistakes. 2-1 and Piola is delighted with her first success in this championship. Novara, who are significantly closer to the penultimate place in the standings of Fiorenzuole, and Pergolettese, who are currently going through a crisis of results and see themselves dangerously approaching the playout zone, just one point ahead.
