San Marino. Football, La Fiorita beat Tre Penne 2-0 in the final and won the championship
La Fiorita champion: Rinaldi and Pancotti from San Marino decide.
La Fiorita and Tre Penne find themselves in the final-scudetto three years after the most recent precedent that awarded the team from Città, winning in extra time (3-1 aet) on the Montecchio synthetic. Today, the San Marino Stadium is hosting the most important and heartfelt challenge of the year, which closes the San Marino football season by electing the new national champions who will go straight to the Preliminary Round of the UEFA Champions League, stationed in Iceland from 21 to 24 June. next.
Ceci confirms for ten-elevenths the formation that overcame the Tre Fiori in the return semifinal, preferring the San Marino Cesarini to Sartori. The other compatriots in training are Ceccaroli and Michael Battistini. The Biancazzurri owners at La Fiorita are Grandoni and Rinaldi, while the news at the most recent release bear the names of Miori and Amati, who take the place of the disqualified Gasperoni and Lunadei respectively.
As was easy to imagine, the value of the stake brings with it a start of study competition and tactics, during which Tre Penne is the most enterprising team. After a couple of blank attempts by Badalassi, to which La Fiorita replies with Guidi’s cross-shot, removed from the opponent’s third line, the Biancazzurri preside over the opponent’s trocar. Chiurato’s tower at 9 ‘and Ceccaroli’s shot-cross, deflected, enhance Roberto Di Maio’s ability to always position himself in the right place. Thus, Montegiardino unlocks it at the first real opportunity: Zulli gains the bottom on the right and operates a cross on which Rinaldi is good at anticipating the direct scorer, to deflect submeasure. In the same way, the runners-up almost doubled in the 19th minute, but Guidi was unable to organize himself for the decisive touch on the umpteenth invention of Zulli.
Tre Penne now seems to have lost their distance on the pitch, especially in midfield. The setters of La Fiorita find themselves in a marvelous way and in the middle of the fraction the Gialloblù pack the opportunity of 2-0, which Rinaldi does not take advantage of by sending freaked out on Grandoni’s perfect cross. Ceci’s men try to shake off a bit of tension thanks to Cesarini’s percussion, who seats Guidi and proposes to the limit for Righini: a left-footed one that Vivan has to reach for a corner. Fortunata La Fiorita at half an hour, when Vivan does not come out flawlessly on Vandi’s cross: Righini touched in the rebound, then Di Maio moves away.
In the final part of the fraction the Tre Penne returns to take control of the operations, but La Fiorita defends itself effectively and. Battistini does not catch the wild card from distance, while Grandoni fires blanks with his right after a good restart from La Fiorita on the Rinaldi-Guidi axis. In the final, Tre Penne, on the other hand, lacks precision, who in the 44th minute recovers the ball in the opponent’s trocar but fails to reach the conclusion. Different the outcome of the last one sank the yellow-blue, who with an insistent action frees Zulli in the middle of the area: right placed at the corner, on which Migani has to stretch out all his centimeters to push aside and avoid a doubling that seemed to be done close to the interval.
In the second half there are no changes, but the emotions are immediate. It begins with the Chiurato tower for Badalassi, providentially disturbed by Brighi on the edge of the small area. On the other hand, extraordinary coast to coast di Miori, who comes to beat from the center of the area with his left-handed, enhancing Migani’s skills. Fiorita can afford a throw-in match, while Tre Penne gradually increases his thrust – becoming dangerous with Ceccaroli, anticipated by an uncertain exit from Vivan. Shortly after the hour of Righini he tries on a lateral free kick, removed from the extreme opponent, then Ceccaroli fishes in the Genestreti area, but the defender’s deviation does not find the mirror. The challenge passes from a forced break at 68 ‘, to allow the health staff of the two teams to help Zafferani and Gai, protagonists of a fortuitous and violent in which clash it is Gai who has the worst: forced to change with Cibelli.
The new entrant is positioned in the right lane, supplying Badalassi at 74 ‘with a nice cross that the tip of Tuscan origins turns head slightly to the side. La Fiorita is now gathered in its own half, with Tre Penne looking for the right pick to break through the most solid defense of the season. It can’t be Vandi’s falling southpaw, finding Vivan’s door and gloves. On the other side there is work for Migani, who blocks Zulli’s too central shot – good at preparing the shot from the edge, but imprecise in shooting.
The final is understandably tense and nervous, with the La Fiorita bench losing his temper for not having entered to make a double change in the 83rd minute: Pancotti takes over Loiodice, but the game resumes before Sanchez’s next. It was the third substitution slot, so for Sanchez there is no field without overtime. And for the joy, even of the central, there will not be: at 89 ‘in fact, Rinaldi launches alone, coming face to face with Migani, still superlative. To accompany the action, however pancottokicking from the edge e hole the Rimini extreme for 2-0. A little later a foul by Lombardi on Rinaldi ignites a dispute on the pitch in which Rinaldi is sent off, probably for one word too many. For the Tre Penne there are six minutes of injury time to pursue a titanic undertaking. Which fails to Ceci’s men: La Fiorita sells the defeat of 2019 and returns to raise the Scudetto to the sky of Serravalleafter the defeat in extra time with Folgore last year.
Instead, it was held yesterday evening in Acquaviva la final for third place between Pennarossa and Tre Fiori. Match devoid of European logic due to the failure of Borgagni’s team to qualify for the final, which will participate in the next Conference League thanks to the victory in the Titano Cup. The Gialloblù ended the season on the lowest step of the podium a sign Della Valle and Gjurchinoski. The Pennarossa, in ten from 85 ‘for a red card waved at Mantovani’s address, has shortened in full recovery with the splendid execution of Tiboni.
