Another cold shower arrives, at Acquaviva in San Marino, for Medicina Fossatone in the second away match of the season. The Giallorossi do not unlock far from home and fall in the 84th minute on the difficult field of Victor San Marino. The excellent performance, which followed the two victories against Masi Torello Voghiera (league) and Sanpaimola (Cup), leaves room for the bitterness of a defeat matured in extremis. Appointment on Sunday 18 September, with Medicina Fossatone which returns within the friendly walls of Enghel Bambi to face Sant’Agostino. The balance reigns in the first half not poor in opportunities but with the result that is not released. Victor San Marino starts strong but the attack of the hosts is stopped by an excellent Palermo, skilled in thwarting two occasions that have landed on Ambrosini’s feet. At 15 ‘the first shot on goal by Medicina Fossatone arrives with Sabbatani who, received by Barbaro, turns in a handkerchief but the shot is weak. The Biancazzurri’s push continues but it is the guests who touch the advantage in the 39th minute: Castagnini’s assist is precise for Sabbatani’s head who strikes undisturbed sending the ball to the side. The number 9 despairs but the referee whistles offside. The last emotion of the first half is for San Marino, from a corner, but De Queiroz, who demands another shot from the flag, hits badly. Opportunities drop in the second half but not the pace and tension of a match that is resolved in the last minutes. Medicine Fossatone lowers the center of gravity and Victor San Marino takes the field without creating particular problems for the Giallorossi goalkeeper. After a few attempts from outside the box, the corner goal arrives. Sabba’s cross is on the near post and Santoni, left free to, detaches undisturbed and hit with the help of the post. The attempts of Medicina Fossatone in a rich recovery are in vain and Pazzini limits himself to checking until the end of the extra time.
