The match report
The Vipers start strong, and already at the 4th minute Spiller makes himself dangerous by hitting the crossbar in full. Shortly after Captain Frigo plays on the bank to trigger Velar, good at slipping on the left and coolly overcoming the Verona goalkeeper. Two minutes pass and Belcastro loses an insidious puck towards his own area, Carrer steals it from him and draws. Immediate reaction of the Asians who, in superiority, owes the new advantage thanks to a rebound exploited by Tessari.
Race in control, but Perini from the right finds the daring 2-2 comp the involuntary deviation of Munari. All to be redone. And then the line of the youngest still thinks about changing the rhythm of the match, still with a number of Velar that knocks out the opposing goalkeeper Before the interval, a thrill for Facchinetti on an opponent’s shot, and shortly after another sensational pole, this time by Rossetto.
