San Marino football, Pennarossa returns to success in the league
San Marino football championship, Pennarossa returns to success by tripping Virtus.
It cannot be said that much was scored in the advances of the last day of the first round of the San Marino Championship BKN301, but the goals scored in the afternoon all have a notable specific weight. Starting with the only goal from Domagnano, theater of the Borgo Maggiore Castle derby between Libertas and San Giovanni. I Grenade – today in a white suit – Olcese’s goal from a penalty was enough. Thus, the expert striker finds his seventh seal of the season in the opening – the fifth in the last four games. Good news also for Zavoli: Libertas finds the clean sheet; it didn’t happen from the seasonal debut with Folgore (0-0) to the first of the championship.
Setback for Virtus, which interrupts a streak of eleven consecutive useful results, failing to score. It had happened only two other times previously, when – against Tre Penne and Cosmos – however they matured two goalless draws. Today in Acquaviva, however, only Passaniti’s goal swells, not flawless at the end of the first half when Stefanelli finds the paw from three points. The efforts of Virtus are worthless, who in the second half can play with the extra man for half an hour (Tomassini sent off in the 61st minute), but repeatedly slams on Pennarossa’s rearguard and on an excellent Simone Benedettini. The Chiesanuova club thus returns to celebrate a success that was missing from the third day championship: it was mid-September.
The Neroverdi finish the first leg with 28 points, -4 behind La Fiorita (current leaders) and potentially -6 behind Cosmos, who would be crowned winter champion if they win on the Tre Fiori tomorrow. The Tre Penne will want to take advantage of the direct confrontation at the top, called to cross the Faetano. Domagnano-Murata, on the other hand, risks representing the last resort, or almost, for the Bianconeri recently entrusted to Angelini.
Indeed, in the afternoon Cailungo in fact left the penultimate place, beating Juvenes-Dogana 2-0. It’s the ex’s goal Philip Quaranta to break the balance in the quarter of an hour: the San Marino defender, in deep insertion, transforms Liverani’s cross into gold to beat Gentilini at the near post. Amati’s full-back can do nothing then, in the middle of the fraction, when Giangrandi invents a left-handed fireball which slams into the underside of the crossbar, before inflating the net from bottom to top. In the second half, Merli and his teammates pressed but were unable to get back into the game – also due to Elia Benedettini’s great performance in goal at Cailungo. Thus matures the third consecutive defeat for Juvenes-Dogana, which slips to third place; for Protti’s boys, fourth useful result in the last five gamesin which the Rossoverdi have forfeited 8 of the 14 points obtained so far.
The rankings are also moving Florentine who, despite remaining on the penultimate step of the ranking, obtains a precious point against Folgore which allows Malandri’s boys to bring Juvenes-Dogana and Domagnano closer (one point apart). To the Santoni advantagecaught on the far post by a powerful razor from Sartori, replies Torsani – in a very similar way. The attacker scores his fourth goal in the league, taking advantage of Dolcini’s punctual verticalization for D’Addario, precise in assisting in the center of the area. An offside signaled to Golinucci, during the fourth and last minute of added time of the match, choked the outcome of the Falciano club, which was unable to give continuity to its results.
