Women’s Primavera, what a victory: 2-0 at the San Marino Academy
The Sassuolo Women’s Spring by Mister Balugani also conquers San Marino, on a windy and very cold day. The neroverdi dominate, especially in the first half but, despite the good game, even today few goals arrive. At 10 ‘Anna Donà’s too central shot on an assist from Giada Aldini was deflected just above the crossbar by the good intervention of the San Marino goalkeeper. Excellent opportunity for the host at 32 ‘to which he responds immediately Monica Spallanzani on the counterattack going on the net with a nice lob to climb over the goalkeeper’s exit.
At 3 ‘of the second half Eleonora hits the crossing Bellamico, protagonist of a good performance today: he was then replaced in the 64th minute by Letizia Pede. Contemporary change also for Alessia Marchetti, suffering from cramps, which Mary Clare Petrillo takes over.
The neroverdi lose their shine and for the whole second half suffer a little, in the end, in the face of a more courageous and above all proactive San Marino, with various dangerous actions. At 77 ‘Fiona Rufolo replaces Monica Spallanzani, while at 81’ and 83 ‘two yellow cards arrive for Manuela Sciabica and Sofia Di Benedetto, the latter replaced at 89’ by Kristina Hoxhaj. In full recovery finally comes the flicker of Anna Donà, who is forgiven for his “absence” today, and with a nice goal from outside the box puts an end to the black-green suffering. The girls dedicate the victory to their unfortunate captain Greta Dalla Pria who tomorrow will undergo a reconstruction of the cruciate and meniscus of the left knee. We look forward to seeing you on the pitch, Gre!
