Pontedera will avenge the home defeat three days ago in the friendly championship against Virtus Entella, responding with the same score at Chiavari’s Comunale, the final result was 0–1, reaching the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia in Serie C. The match was certainly conditioned by the sudden expulsion of Reali, guilty of rudely stopping Salvadori, who was sent to gate. The Ligurians were able to overcome their numerical superiority by playing generously and pressing persistently for large parts of the match. Having put Grenada, who today wear a black and green jersey, in a difficult position, especially in the final part of the first half, a draw would certainly have been the fairest result after 90 minutes. However, Pontedera, for his part, was rewarded for his courage by fielding a very young team that, in some situations, was guilty of inexperience, but showed great desire and diligence on the field. In the news, both coaches revolutionized the lineups seen three days earlier, with Fabio Gallo making up 10/11 of the lineup announced the day before. Between the posts, Siaoulis wins the second round with Paroni in the usual 3-5-2 formation, Contek, Lancini and Reali in defense. The defenders were Zappella and Tomaselli, the directors were Lipaniu and Tascone, and Clemenza was preferred to Mezzi. In attack are two former players Santini and Disanto. On the other hand, after almost two months, Massimiliano Canzi offers Lewis between the posts, Pretato, Espeche and Guidi in defense in a starting formation of 3-4-2-1. Gagliardi and Ambrosini are on the flanks, while Delpupo drops into midfield alongside Marrone on his professional debut. Salvadori and Paulice support Fossati. A flashy match, Tomaselli immediately puts Gagliardi in trouble with his speed, on the other hand, the class of 2004 does the same with Salvadori, who forces Reali to stop him. The match director sends off defender Virtus Entella. The Ligurians kept their cool as they had a chance to take the lead in the 20th minute, Disanto sending Lewis’s deflection onto the crossbar. Having escaped danger, Pontedera begins to grind the game, and finds the decisive goal: Delpupo catches Fossati with a vertical tracer, the Genoa striker appears in front of Siaoulis and coolly beats him. The reaction of the blue and white is frantic, Fabio Gallo’s team rushes forward, receiving an endless series of corners, but never managing to become particularly dangerous. In the second half, the plot did not change; the guests used their numerical superiority more, moving the ball. In the 2nd minute after Gagliardi’s cross, Fossati sent the ball to the back. Canzi relies on Calvani and Ignacchiti, and Gallo responds by inserting Fagioli, Parodi and Corbari. At 17′ Clemenza from outside forces Lewis to deflect for a corner, on the other hand Delpupo keeps the hosts’ defense on alert. In the 32nd minute, Entella is dangerous on the right on the Parodi-Faggioli axis, but the former Ancona man shoots high from a good position. Both coaches continue to make changes, on the one hand, to carry out the final assault, on the other, to freeze the result. Four minutes later, the Tuscans celebrate their victory and advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face the winner of Padua-Lumezzane, with Virtus Entella emerging with his head held high, showing that perhaps the shock many were calling for had indeed taken place. . Here’s the best and worst comparison.
