The Cosmos gives battle, the Tre Penne goes to the quarters
At the end of a double confrontation with 11 total goals, the Three Pens reaches Domagnano in the quarter-finals of the Titano Cup. But not without sweating, because as in the first leg knockout the Cosmos gives battle and even dreams of overtime, avoided by Gai’s close shotgun which gives the definitive 4-2 blue-white.
Corner of Righini and heel of Chiurato to unmark Lombardi, whose touch from two steps shatters on Gregori. Lombard which takes little to forgive the goal he ate: Righini again – this time on a free kick – for the detachment of the defender, this time Gregori has holes in his gloves and opens the door for him. Cosmos reacts with Pari’s side to trigger Donati’s cross, the ball slips between Migani, Lombardi and Ura, with the yellow-green striker collapsing to the ground. For the referee there is nothing, on the other hand the bench in Serravalle explodes in protests and we also escape a red for Fabbri.
The exit of the coach, however, does not cut the legs of the Cosmos that with the start of recovery gets back into the race. From the left Di Add takes the defense in counter-time by widening on the opposite side, Valentini arrives on the supporting front Ura. And at 65 ° again Ura triangulates with Valentini and unloads in the goal, the rejection of Migani splashes to the limit where By Addario is ready with the steering wheel of the overturn.
If it ended in this way, we would go to extra time, but at the Tre Penne 120 ”is enough, at the turn of the 80th, to take back the qualification. Sartori for Badalassi, center forward buoy for Gai who controls it in traffic and places it on the right, for an equal author. Almost identical actors a minute later: this time Badalassi receives from Battistini, evades Sartini and kicks, Gregori rejects and on the rebound Gai puts his head in it, reiterating it in the sack. Counter-overtaken, the Cosmos raises the white flag and the now closed discussions are also the poker of Ceccaroli, who at 90th pounced on an error by the defense, returned to the right and put it under the opposite intersection: applause, triple and Tre Penne in the quarterfinals.
