Primavera regain primacy, futsal Titans ok too • newsrimini.it
FEMALE SECTOR
In the recovery of the match of the 10th day, played yesterday, the girls of the Primavera beat Pink Bari
finding their head in Group 2. Roma, the last opponent of the Titans before the trip to Puglia, for the moment are back second to -2 from the leaders, albeit with one race less behind them than the latter. At the “Antonucci” in Bitetto, the girls from Urbinati find themselves immediately the uncork-result blow with Eleonora Several, a sign after less than 3 ‘with a right from the edge of the area. Bari does not passively accept the state of things, on the contrary, they collect numerous occasions more than the interval which, however, do not change the fate of the confrontation. After all, the San Marino Academy also builds its own opportunities, and the same happens in the recovery. The point of safety – albeit relative, given the large amount of time remaining – arrives at 13 ‘thanks to Swami Giuliani, who beats the home goalkeeper with a lob after a fine triangulation with Berveglieri. The 2-0 will also be the final result.
FUTSAL SECTOR
The first match of 2022 takes on two faces but in the end it turns out to be happy for the futsal girls, the hosts, on Saturday, in the comparison of the 10th day of Serie A against Santu Predu. For a long period, the girls of Mr. Pini exercised a real dominion over the match, imposing a great pace on it and minimizing the dangers on the part of Ilaria Giorgi. Then the Sardinians find the first goal of the day and from there the inertia of the match totally changes: the Santu Predu takes courage and up to 4-3, a result eventually led to the port by the San Marino Academy, but with much more apprehension than to what the plot of the first 35 ‘abundant of play had not made us assume. Side A of the Don Pippo match is all white and blue: the Titanas start immediately under pressure and the Santu Predu becomes very difficult to develop the game. For long stretches Giorgi is practically inactive while her colleague Evans is immediately called into question by Cabrera, who moves well on Comandini’s long filter except being blocked by the guest goalkeeper, excellent at the exit. On the overturn, Carta wins a rebound and kicks, finding only the outside of the net. At 4 ‘the pressure from San Marino offers another opportunity to Cabrera, who crosses with his right foot and misses the target by a whisker. And it is always the Cuban-born player who has the best opportunity of the first cross-section of the match on her foot: this time it is Dulbecco who favors, with a long hole, the cut of her partner, and this time there is a great response – double, even – of Evans to keep the Santu Predu afloat. However, the blue-white advantage remains in the air. And the sensation becomes even stronger in the 7th minute, when Lanzarotti’s sudden and very tight ‘bet’ is printed on the post. The Santu Predu does not come out of the grip of Pini’s girls, who find the deserved advantage in the 9th minute: here too it is a pressure exerted with perfect strength and timing that allows Taioli to present himself in front of Evans and to beat her with a precise left-handed diagonal . The author of the ball recovery and the assist is Paola Giudice, making her debut in the Academy jersey after long bureaucratic vicissitudes and immediately protagonist with a game of applause. It will not be the last highlight in the performance of the Italian-Argentine player. At 12 ‘, in fact, it will be she who will put the signature on the point of doubling by picking up Giorgi’s throw and leaning on the net after having evaded Evans’ exit. Shortly before, Giorgi herself had produced the first major intervention of the day: the flying serve with which Carta had put Angius in firing conditions was masterful, but the home goalkeeper’s response to the opponent’s attempt was simply perfect. Even with a small safety margin in hand, the San Marino Academy does not take his foot off the accelerator and at 17 ‘triples with Cabrera, who also certifies the great personal test of the first half on the scoresheet. Lanzarotti arms the right of his partner directly from the corner, with the ball passing a forest of legs before ‘dying’ in the low corner. Before the change of field there is also room for a last attempt by the Judge, close to the brace with a ‘bet’ that Evans defuses with another excellent reflex.
The second half opens along the lines of the first half. The Titans immediately rise in pressure and, on the beat of a
lateral foul, captain Dubecco can charge a very angular but not powerful right-handed to knock out Evans. Two minutes later, great chance for the 5-0: Cabrera leads a restart then offering the ball to Dulbecco, whose shot is blocked by Evans; Cabrera herself tries on the continuation, finding the wall erected by Deriu. The Santu Predu sees itself in attack with the ‘bet’ of Carta defused by Giorgi. But the Academy has a great desire for five and at 7 ‘there is even a quadruple save by Evans on the quick succession attempts of Giudice, Taioli, Turnone and Lanzarotti, close to the point of the knockout but surrender to the visiting goalkeeper, literally on fire. Just enough time to catch his breath and Evans is again called into question on the conclusions of Turnone and Taioli. The same Welsh number 1 also takes charge of the search for the shortening-result goal: in fact, her right-footed shot from mid-court makes Giorgi apprehensive, certainly not sorry that the ball kicked with great power by the “colleague” goes out. a puff from the pole. Perhaps it is also thanks to this initiative of their own goalkeeper that Santu Predu takes courage, finding the goal of 4-1 in close turn with a right-footed shot from Carta that slips to the edge of the post. And here the race turns.
The San Marino Academy is becoming much more cautious and less pressing; Santu Predu slips into these growing opponent uncertainties and at 14 ‘goes to -2: Lunesu manages to gain the three-quarters without encountering pressure and there, at the tip, a conclusion explodes that slips precisely into the low corner. The prompt San Marino reply, entrusted to Turnone, still breaks on Evans’ reflexes. Shortly after, it is also a bit of luck that prevents the Sardinian goalkeeper from falling on Lunesu’s backward header, despite himself very close to a sensational own goal. If on the one hand the certainties drop, on the other the energies. And it is also because of this fact that in the quarter of an hour the Titanas have a great opportunity to regain a margin of relative safety: Cabrera steals the ball and overturns the attack front offering the ball to the best positioned Comandini, who first hits a sensational pole. From the possible 5-2 we move quickly to 4-3: it is on the consequent guest counterattack that Deriu’s goal matures, able to beat Cardillo who had replaced Giorgi a few seconds earlier. The ending is not the most peaceful for the girls of the house, forced to defend themselves even from the goalkeeper. The last attempt of the Santu Predu is entrusted to Deriu, who slams into an attentive Cardillo. The rest is management of the chronometer, until the siren establishes the third victory in the championship of the Titanas, which will be back on stage at Don Pippo on Wednesday 12 for the recovery of the race on the 6th day. Also in this case the opponent will be Sardinian: the Arzachena will be facing the girls of Pini, at 21:00.
