San Marino. In the fourth round, Juvenes-Dogana must surrender to Murata
Serravalle’s team suffers a goal in time and lacks effectiveness in attack. Amati: “Once a gift, now head to the cup”
A bitter restart of the championship for Juvenes-Dogana, which in the fourth round picks up where it left off: with a defeat. This time, however, it hurts more and the first to admit it is the coach himself, Manuel Amati, who talks about “a free time” against an “opponent within reach”. Where Serravalle’s team fails to materialize, in the offensive phase, Murata is cynical and strikes on the two best occasions he had, taking advantage of as many opponents’ mistakes, first on a corner kick and then on a wrong pass. With this victory, the Murata bypasses the Juvenes-Dogana, hoisting himself to six points against the four of Amati’s men.
Yet, the biancorossoblù had the best start, with a very active D’Angeli in the opening minutes. Then the thrust ran out and at 22 ‘, all of a sudden, the Juventus advantage with the Ferraro bottle on the corner kick developments arrived. Juvenes-Dogana did not know how to react, while Murata controlled very well until the interval. In the second half, Serravalle’s team tried to equalize several times: Merli’s overhead kick was beautiful in the final, the only occasion in which the midfielder especially touched the goal, in a match in which he struggled, but he was even when returning after a foot problem. However, the bianconeri still managed. On the Murata side, Ura was very effective in speed, then, when the game was almost over, the newly entered Baldini thought about intercepting a bad pass from the opposing defense, serving Gaiani, who bagged the 2-0 at 92 ‘.
“In the first half we weren’t good at what we tried per week, improvising a match that hadn’t been prepared, and we struggled alone – analyzes Amati -. Murata found the advantage on an initially unassigned corner kick, so maybe we lost the references there. Then, in the second half we organized ourselves a little better, pushing harder and finishing more times, but their goalkeeper was good on more than one occasion. Finally we took the goal in the recovery, making a mistake in a pass under pressure: a serious mistake, but let’s say that by now the game was over. Sorry. We will see each other on Monday to prepare for the first leg of the Titan Cup against Cailungo, but Murata was a team within our reach, so it was a game from which we should not be defeated. This must weigh on us, because I’m fine losing against La Fiorita, albeit with a tight match, but doing it with Murata, in these conditions and giving a time, is something that doesn’t have to go well if we want to have more ambitions ”.
