Futsal week: double Belloni in the 2-2 between San Marino and Slovenia
“There is the signature of Captain Belloni in the first useful result of the national futsal team of San Marino in Futsal Week 2022, an international tournament based in Parenzo (Croatia) “.
Thus opens the note of the San Marino Football Federation, adding: “Third consecutive day of competitions which proposes to the Titans the Slovenia U19, capable of overwhelming Belgium yesterday with a score of 5-1. Those of Dobovičnik approach with personality, who pierce the San Marino wall after three and a half minutes in which there was only a shot from distance, neutralized by Protti. Žlindra sprints behind Franciosi to receive the first intention assist from Suban and cold the San Marino extreme with a peremptory right.
Slovenia is galvanized by the advantage gained and nearly doubled in the 5 ‘with Suban, who escapes Giuccioli’s radar and kicks diagonally overtaking Protti. Between him and the goal is Toccaceli, which saves near the line also preventing Ruis from an easy one to touch. The first San Marino attempt is by Busignani, who does not achieve a good job to free himself from the marking with his back to the goal. Protti juggles well and where he can’t go, it is the pole that gives him support, like on Šnofl’s lash when the clock marks 6’21 ”.
White-blue reply entrusted to Cecchini, who asserts his body to explode a right-footed shot deflected for a corner by Ambrožič. From there Žlindra does not hit the ball of the brace at the suggestion of the lively Suban, while on the developments of a San Marino corner and after Ambrožič’s save against Busignani, a counterattack is triggered that Žlindra does not finalize. The Slovenes return to sting with Šnofl, before double with Ruis – able to pass Protti from a distance, capitalizing on the excessive freedom granted to him at 17’55 “.
Previously, he had tried from outside Belloni, but it is in the last seconds that the best chances of the first half of the Titans arrive. First the combination between Giuccioli and Zafferani, who passes from a heel of the first, draws the central of the Tre Fiori in lack of confidence in the first football with the left-handed. Then, when the siren is five seconds away, Busignani sees himself rejecting a free kick from a short distance from the barrier to climb. On the generating corner, with 1 ”9 to play, Pasqualini’s cross shot commits Ambrožič, but the result does not move.
In the second half Busignani immediately tries, playing well on the doubling and looking for Belloni in the center – providentially anticipated. In the opposite half Janež does not find the door after having slipped away, while San Marino starts to refuel. An indication of this is Busignani’s blow from distance, deflected for a corner; it is instead a proof the Belloni’s network, which yields high blood pressure intercepting a verticalization of Ruis: immediate right on the exit of the goalkeeper, who dusts the intersection of the posts and reopens the game.
Slovenia is confidently striving to return to a safe distance, but Dobovičnik’s players will no longer score. Also sensationally, come on the 26 ‘with Žlindra who misses from two steps, or thanks to Protti and defense, as on Janež’s repeated attempts. Belloni is the one more on the ball, San Marino front, touching the draw on the side scheme. Protti continues to deny the trio to the Slovenians, who touch theharakiri at 12 ‘when Menard ventures out of the posts to return central and low shot: immediate left-handed from Felici’s midfield circle, who finds the goal and the recovery of the opposing goalkeeper.
San Marino, however, is fully in the game, even in the score when the clock marks 26’05 ”. I still deserve to Belloni, which takes advantage of Cecchini’s impeccable true pivot work that freeing a torpedo that returns to inflate the net at the intersection of the poles. In the schizophrenic Saturday afternoon in Croatia, one passes from joy to apprehension in just 15 minutes: time for San Marino to run out of foul play and send Janež to the free throw spot. Monumental Protti, who rejects with his foot: rescue completed by De Angelis who, author of the sixth foul, immolates himself countered by fully redeeming himself.
The Titans put the attributes on it, which is not mere rhetoric when at 39 ‘Busignani is on the trajectory of Trdin’s conclusion and how he can reject. Last 1000 with the goalkeeper for Slovenia, never danger in this set-up. On the contrary, the ball of success is in Protti’s hands and feet who, having saved an attempt by Janež, does not make the Slovenian captain pay for the error by sending out his attempt directed at the opponent’s goal.
Tomorrow the Titans will take the field at 10:00 against Belgium for the fourth and final challenge on Croatian soil: live, as always, on the Futsal Week Facebook page.
