San Marino Academy – Arzachena 3-3
In the recovery of the 6th day comes the third consecutive useful result for the futsal Titans. Against Arzachena, third in the standings, the girls of Mr. Pini make it 3-3 at the end of a hard-fought match and which saw them, especially in the first half, become preferred for a long time, only to blame the return of the Sardinians than in the second half they manage to even the score twice, the second of which using the weapon of the moving goalkeeper. As happened last Saturday against another Sardinian formation, Santu Predu, also last night the Titanas proposed a furious approach to the match. Even the advantage comes after an effective minute of play: at the first ball retrieval in an advanced position, Dulbecco assists Taioli who, with his left-handed, first intends to put Jammoul on. The lightning advantage gives wings to the white and blue landlords, who exert pressure across the board and give Arzachena no way to reorganize their ideas. Giorgi confines herself to ordinary administration in the early stages, while her companions press hard in search of doubling. Comandini goes close to us in the 3 ‘, when he turns on Pedace and with his right he looks for his place in the match report, finding the answer of the Sardinian goalkeeper. The latter is also called into question shortly after, when first Turnone and then Taioli in turn try to double the distance, without success. The first acute of the guests arrives at 5 ‘and takes the form of a falling neighborhood of Campesi with the ball on the post to the right of Giorgi, however in control of the trajectory. Judge, just entered, retrieves the ball and offers it to Turnone, anticipated in output by Jammoul. The Sardinian response is in a right from Deiana’s band on which Giorgi remains vigilant. Arzachena grows as the minutes pass and at 8 ‘it takes an over-the-top intervention by Giorgi – the first intervention of the match – to block the attempt by Gruada, freed from Carta after a splendid combination. Attentive, the home keeper, even on Deiana’s attempted tap-in.
The latter tries again after having snatched the ball from Giudice at the edge of the area, again finding the wall erected by Giorgi. It seems a good moment for Arzachena, who immediately afterwards, however, are forced to capitulate for the second time: punishment won by Giudice and touched by Foti for Comandini, who with his right hand puts the right ball into the corner. The doubling galvanizes the Titans, who also perform in high style plays, especially when the Arzachena decides to step up the pressure. Everything turns and the maximum that is granted by the Biancoazzurre, in this phase, are a couple of conclusions from the distance that do not give Giorgi thought. On the other hand, a couple of beautiful individual plays force the guest players to spend as many yellow cards. The San Marino Academy sniffs the opportunity of the triple advantage: Dulbecco and Giudice try twice, jumping two opponents above all, including the goalkeeper, before putting the ball out betrayed by a non-optimal balance. In the middle, a nice combination between Taioli and Lanzarotti agrees to the number 5 to promote a more than interesting ball in the middle of the penalty area, without any partner supporting the idea. In the end Arzachena returns to shake: it takes a providential from Dulbecco on the goal line to avoid the 2-1 on Carta’s safe shot (Giorgi had just blocked Mangafas ‘attempt), while at 18’ no player in red jersey can prevent Campesi’s close “bet” from going to extinguish at the bottom of the bag. The episode does not weaken the morale of the girls of the house, who in the last seconds make two last attempts with Turnone and Giudice, both foiled with quick reflexes by Jammoul.
After the rest the game script changes. The Arzachena returns to the field with great determination while the Titanas significantly lower their pace. In the first few minutes it is a Sardinian domination, which however yields nothing more than a few conclusions from a distance. The San Marino Academy, however, no longer has the fury and geometry of the first half, although the stubbornness of some interpreters still allows Pini’s team to become dangerous, and a lot. Like when Comandini breaks through with force on the right band and then kicks towards Jammoul’s goal, which he rejects on Lanzarotti’s feet, unable to coordinate as best as possible to shoot the net, also because he is pressed. Then Judge tries to tip, she too stopped by Jammoul. Arzachena continues to play their part but in the breaks it is the Academy who have the opportunities, At 5 ‘Comandini and Giudice talk well and they like the game until they reach the area: here they both miss the decisive thrust, and Arzachena, by regrouping, he manages to avert the danger. On the other front, Carta tests the draw by performing a double dribbling and catching the outside of the net with a right shot in freedom. Shortly after, the 2-2 materializes thanks to a sumptuous play by Mangafas, who knocks out the direct opponent before exploding from the band a perfect conclusion for power and precision: the ball “dies” in the farthest ‘7’, without that there is no escape for Giorgi.
Taioli tries to play the charge by recovering the ball in a split and then managing a transition that ends with Comandini’s right, out for centimeters. The latter, however, remains one of the most determined to overturn the inertia of the match, now decidedly in Arzachena’s hands: concrete proof at minute 34 ‘, when she breaks through in a cage of three opponents and kicks power finding a slight deviation that puts Jammoul out of action. The new advantage, also considering the particular moment of the match, gives new confidence to the landlord, now more confident in their bets. The Arzachena, however, does not disunite: the prompt reply after the 3-2 is entrusted to a nice combination between Gruada and Pedace, with the latter having plenty of room to shoot, throttled. At 36 ‘huge opportunity for Mangafas, who after a series of exchanges with Toledo Rodriguez receives from his partner the ideal ball to beat a goal, right in front of Giorgi: luckily for the white-blue goalkeeper and her teammates, the 14 Sardinian does not prove to be cold at the time of the therefore. Meanwhile, Arzachena launches the goalkeeper. In this regime the visiting team builds a second sensational opportunity: this time it is Campesi who, more or less from the same tile as his partner, culpably puts aside. Meanwhile, the Academy had a great chance to close the match: Arzachena had lost the ball with the moving goalkeeper in the field, but Taioli lost the moment to hit an empty goal, kicking when the mirror available was very small. . The slightest advantage forces the Titans to a final of pure suffering, until the Arzachena reaches equal to 1:10 ‘from the siren: the furious pressure forces the Titans to make an error in disengagement; the ball lands on the foot of Mangafas who kicks from afar finding a decisive deviation. In the short time available, the third in the standings does not give up the moving goalkeeper, trying to hit a reversal which, however, does not arrive. Like Saturday, a double-sided test by the Titanas, however able to lengthen the streak to a prestigious draw and to launch with conviction at the expected Sunday derby against the next Virtus Romagna, scheduled at the Palazzetto Flaminio Rimini at 16:00.
