Calcio San Marino, the reigning Tre Fiori champion out of the Titano Cup at the hands of Virtus
Coppa Titano BKN301: Tre Fiori and La Fiorita out, Tre Penne comeback!
The top two seeds fall, equal to the quarterfinals of the Titan Cup BKN301. Tre Fiori will not defend the title won last season, due to extraordinary comeback of Virtus. Bizzotto’s team, led by Ivan Buonocunto – who is proving to be among the most incisive players in our championship, if not the most decisive one – scores a dry 3-1 against their renowned opponents, overturning the narrow victory obtained in the first leg come on Gialloblù. Brace for Buonocunto, interspersed with a sharp note by Sorrentino – to the second goal in five days. The penalty kick converted by Traini spiced up the finale, which didn’t allow for an epilogue to extra time.
Condition instead satisfied at Ezio Conti di Dogana, where the match between Folgore and Murata needs another thirty minutes of play to decree the semi-finalist which will cross the Virtus in the upper part of the board. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, Lepri’s and Sarti’s teams find themselves on a 2-2 draw at Beltrano’s triple whistle. Immediate benefit with Gattei Colonna for Folgore, resumed at the start of the second half from tap-in by Gjorretai – also scored in the first act of the double challenge. Soon Serafini’s goals and Baldini’s penalty: for the Folgore the mockery of a clamorous pole hit by Bernardi after an irresistible ball and chain ride of 50 meters. The other San Marino player in full yellow, Golinucci, chipped the cross from a free-kick in the first minutes of the complementary match. Shortly after, his stubbornness creates the conditions for it breakthrough by Santoni which is worth the qualifying goal. The bianconeri came close to the third engagement of the evening with Baldini and Ferraro in the second overtime, but Folgore went to the semifinal.
Second consecutive victory for Libertasthat after the recent 2-1 inflicted on Juvenes-Dogana in the championship, prune the scalp of La Fiorita in Titan Cup BKN301. Good performance for the Granata di Sperindio, unbeaten in the two matches with Rinaldi and his teammates, and able to score the qualifying goal during the first half: Bucci scored, who on the development of a corner draws the top corner to the right of Vivan. Wet powder, on the other hand, for the guns of La Fiorita, sometimes imprecise and – especially in the first half – unable to overcome a superlative Zavoli. The San Marino full-back is the great protagonist of the evening, with decisive interventions and a clean sheet which is worth qualifying for the semifinals. The only drawback of the evening, for Libertas, the two great opportunities squandered by Lorenzo Gasperoni and Olcese in the last minutes of the game: Libertas can still smile, which in the last double match of the Titano Cup will meet Tre Penne.
Acquaviva’s heart-pounding challenge, where Stefano Ceci’s team was called to overturn the 3-1 defeat suffered at the hands of Juvenes-Dogana in the first leg match. We needed a slingshot start at Tre Penne, which actually gets a penalty already in the 10th minute: Gentilini’s save was sensationalwho removes Nicola Gai’s diagonal from the corner and then bless the imprecision of Pieri sul tap-in. Which is then the way in which the advantage, by Dormi – punctual and all too free at the far post, where Gentilini had rejected Ceccaroli’s attempt. An ultra-offensive traction Tre Penne hits closely with the Wonder of Nicola Gai, who redeems the mistake from the penalty spot by scoring the best goal of the evening – with a 25-metre fireball that goes out at the top corner. In the 17th minute the double challenge is in perfect equality and the qualifying speech completely in the balance. With four forwards on the pitch and a very high and effective pressing, Tre Penne cannot and does not want to change its match plan, coming close to 3-0 several times, especially with Pieri and Dormi. Tris that finds Ceccaroli in the first minute of recovery, canceled however due to the evident irregular position of Dormi – in a trajectory grazing the San Marino wing. The score does not change in the reprise, when Tre Penne wins another penalty: this time it’s Dormi who takes the responsibility, displacing Gentilini with his left foot due to the brace that tips the scales on the side of the city. Juvenes-Dogana has nothing to defend and pours into attack, exalting the Migani quality. The extreme of the Tre Penne save the third penalty of the evening, denying Merli the goal that would have put everything back in perfect balance in the 68th minute. On the next corner the goalkeeper from Rimini he then had to fly to the crossroads to neutralize yet another headed goal by Pasquinelli. With the same fundamental Badalassi hit the post in the 82nd minute and Gentilini four minutes later. Thus the Biancorossazzurri of Serravalle remain clinging to the game, without however being able to create the conditions to inflate the bag. In the semifinal, against Libertas, there will be Tre Penne.
