San Marino. Women’s Serie B: the Cittadella goes by authority and another external stop arrives for the Titans
An over the top Citadel forces the Titans to a third external knockout.
At the Sports Center of Tombolo, the hosts – reduce from three wins in a row – start at very high gears, crushing Micciarelli and their companions in the three quarters and preventing them from organizing restarts. After even 1 ‘Ferin is served in depth and then turns to the far post for Pizzolato, free but cumbersome in control. At 4 ‘it is Masu to seek glory with a destroyed from distance that forces Olivieri to the first intervention of the day. The grenade forceing produces its fruits in the 6 ‘, when Nichele makes a vacuum on the left and then serves Pizzolato a chocolate, which he only has to push to the bottom of the sack. The San Marino Academy tries to shake itself but Città giving the conservation its rhythm and its cleanliness in ball possession, reducing the impression of being able to hurt at every acceleration. In the middle of the fraction Bertolotti explores the path of long-range shooting, missing the target by a lot. The Cittadella does not stop carrying out its theme and in the half hour finds the doubling: Ferin presses in solitary half defense of the San Marino Academy, forcing Ladu to a management error which the 9 of the house cynically takes advantage of: Olivieri is circumvented at the exit and the door, unguarded, is inserted with ease. Shortly after, Kongouli ends a nice personal action with a shot that Olivieri lifts for a corner. On the developments of the same, Peruzzo brushes on the second post for Ambrosi, who integrates well and heads Olivieri for another saving intervention. The corners are the weapons that the San Marino Academy decides to rely on in the final of the fraction. At 40 ‘, Bolognini’s arched lefty directly from the flag puts apprehension in the rear of the house, which is then good at making a wall on the attempts of Gallina and Micciarelli. The latter is forced to leave the field a few minutes later for a blow to her face. The last word on the first half is still from the Citadel, who with Nichele scares Olivieri from the middle distance: the left-handed of the 19, luckily for the Titans, is only slightly tall.
In the interval, the San Marino Academy tries to charge. The short choice of the second half, however, is still of the grenade brand: Peruzzo jumped Zito and from the side of the area he sets up central for Ferin, who follows on the net not choosing the easy turn, inside the small area, but a control that comes out defective and that effectively saves the Titans. However, the “City” does not think so much about it. After a few minutes, very occasionally for the landlord, first with the post hit with the heel, the sill, by Benedetti, and then with Masu’s tap-in, she too was forced to fight with the woods. At 50 ‘the protests of the San Marino Academy rise for a sliding intervention by Asta on Montalti, freed from a brilliant veil by Barbieri: the grenade defender intervenes on the ball but touches it with many parts of the body, even with the arm according to the Biancoazzurra bench, not according to the referee. In the quick overturning front, Kongouli accelerates forcefully until she enters the area alone, and then concludes with an extraordinary personal play that is worth three of a kind. The blow is felt and then Domenichetti decides to dare a shock with a triple change: within the same moment Menin, Marengoni and Larenza, making their absolute debut in the Academy jersey. The move immediately had a concrete effect: the Academy attacked with greater conviction, finding a nice free-kick from the edge with Abouziane. On the ball goes the specialist Barbieri, who finds the right angle, rekindling the hopes of a blue-white comeback. The Titans shrug off a bit of apprehension, looking for the immediate second goal with Ladu, brave with the right from long distance. The Cittadella, however, does not skid, on the contrary it produces an immediate counter-response: Benedetti goes centrally in the serpentine and opens for a very solitary Ferin, who enters the area and tries to overtake Olivieri in the face, but ends up being walled by the extreme guest. In the meantime, Giuliani too, joined by the Primavera team and also at her absolute debut. The San Marino Academy takes effort but does not go beyond a couple of scrums easily resolved by the home rearguard, while the Cittadella touches the fourth goal with the great ball that Peruzzo offers to Koungouli, late for centimeters to the appointment with the brace.
