After 120 endless minutes and a penalty lottery, Troise’s Rimini team came out on top and confirmed themselves as great killers in this competition. Perugia, Cesena and now Vicenza (winners of the Italian Cup C), the opponents of the Romagna team will be determined by a draw, but at the moment this means little. Vicenza will therefore not be able to attend this time, seeing the specter of a disappointing and emotionless season increasingly materialize. With Mantua on 15 points and a team that is rarely dangerous in front of goal, especially against well-positioned Rimini, Mr. Diana (now sent off along with his colleague) is really finding it difficult to keep the team’s morale and environment high. Coverage of the match is intense, the first half was heavily influenced by Menti’s pitch, almost flooded by the torrential rain that hit Vicenza, a strong competitive spirit on the pitch and very few noteworthy scoring chances. In the second half the conditions improved along with the weather and what benefited from this, apart from the pitch which drained very well, was the spectacle. The match was close, but the key episode came in the 68th minute when Rossi received a straight red card for a rough tackle on Delcarro. From this point on, the match will become unpleasant: Mr. Calzavara from Varese will draw 7 cards, and also red cards, as mentioned above, will be played by Mr. Diana and his colleague. 30 minutes of numerical superiority was not enough for RImini to break the deadlock, because it was Gigli who “returned the favor” at the beginning of the second extra period, he also received a second yellow after hitting Ferrari. The 120 minutes of play ended spectacularly in the Vicenza penalty area as Ubaldi, served by the excellent Langella, entered the area and fired a powerful right-footed shot which Confente deflected onto the post and then into a corner. From the penalty spot, Ronaldo’s mistake became fatal for Vicenza. On the other hand, the five penalties against Rimini by Ubaldi, Lombardi, Langella (spoon for the captain), Selvini and Stangui were perfect. So this is revenge for Rimini, who crashed out of the Cup last year against Vicenza, while Lane is now in a serious crisis and will have to think about the immediate future.
