Rugby Rovigo Delta, with more effort than expected, wins game 1 of the Serie A Elite play-offs against Mogliano Veneto, but the Treviso team really scared the rossoblù. First half with the rossoblù dominating the game but having no concrete action, while Mogliano Veneto, at the first opportunity, scores a goal and then does well to take advantage of Bazan Velez’s serious mistake. Resumption with Femi Cz Rovigo which actually changes gear when Alberto Chillon enters. Then Filippo Cadorini’s goal definitively breaks the balance, and the Bersaglieri, as predicted, they win game 1 29-12.
First minutes played in Mogliano’s 22, then the action moves to the rossoblù 22 with both goals struggling. Then, on a stolen touch, Mogliano moves to the rossoblù’s 5 meters and after a series of pick-and-gos creates the superiority with the Treviso team opening up and Peruzzo smashes in the goal. Ferrarin for 0-7 when he runs in the 10th minute. Rugby Rovigo Delta responds with vigor and in the second scrum of the day, they uncork the opponent by winning a kick in favor with Ignacio Dogliani who reduces the deficit in the 15th minute: 3-7.
In the 17th minute the incredible: due to an error by the referee Manuel Bottino who does not see a clear forward from the Treviso team, Mogliano wins a touch with the oval reaching the opening Ferrarin who kicks into the rossoblù goal area. Bazan Velez bounces it and is mocked by Zanatta who crushes it in goal: 3-12.
Femi Cz Rovigo crushes Mogliano in their 22. Hence the yellow to Enzo Avaca for a repeated foul by Mogliano when he runs in the 27th minute. After trying first with the scrum and then with the touch, the rossoblù are unable to reach the goal and their oval is held high. We start again with the drop from Mogliano and the Bersaglieri who try again but this time the ball that should have been passed to Edo Lubian ends up in touch. On the touchline Femi Cz Rovigo gets the turn-over. Scrum won with football in favor and the next play sees a rossoblù forward. We start again from the penal touche for the rossoblù. We start from 5 but this time too the oval is kept high. Even in the last action of the first half a penalty for Femi Cz Rovigo without any success; at the break we go with Mogliano leading 12-3. For Femi Cz Rovigo 20′ of attack without managing to score points.
In the 2nd minute of the second half a substitution for Giulian while in the 4th minute a second yellow for Mogliano for repeated fouls. This time Baldino comes out for 10 minutes. From the penalty pocket Lubian goes full goal but turns and a new high arrives. In the 7th minute Sironi comes on for Lubian.
At 10′ after a double fault from Mogliano, Dogliani squares and brings the result to 6-12. Double substitution in Mogliano with Battara and Ceccato on the pitch. Then Matteo Ferro comes in for Steolo. In the 12th minute Ferrarini placed for Bazan Velez who entered the group without authorization. The oval crashes into the post. At 16′ Chillon for Bazan Venez while Grent comes on for Marini in Mogliano.
Femi Cz Rovigo tries to overcome the host’s advantage line but Mogliano, as in the first half, erects a great defense. But in the 7th minute after a drive formed by the touch, Filippo Cadorini scores the goal. Dogliani for the first rossoblù lead: 13-12. Meanwhile, Quaglio enters for an excellent Leccioli. In the 21st minute Dogliani from a free kick due to Mogliano’s offside brings the rossoblù to 16-12. And Lastra Masotti replaces Swanepoel while Brevigliero joins Mogliano. The attacking action of the Bersaglieri forces Mogliano into a continuous foul. Dogliani for 19-12 when he runs in the 24th minute. Meanwhile, Vanzella enters Mogliano. Duccio Cosi enters Femi Cz Rovigo for Zottola.
In the 25th minute, in yet another scrum won by the rossoblù, Dogliani placed the ball and took the Bersaglieri beyond the break: 22-12. Garbisi Junior on the pitch for Mogliano while Lertora for Uncini for the rossoblù. In the 38th minute Chillon makes a kick that surprises the opponents, forces Mogliano to hold and then kicks quickly for the second rossoblù try scored by Flavio Pio Vaccari. Chillon sets 29-12. And red for Giuliano Avaca for a high tackle on Chillon. So the rossoblù’s last action which is looked at at the TMO for foul play by Ferrarin who deliberately slaps forward the oval that Sperandio was passing to Vaccari: yellow for Ferrarin and the game ends with the rossoblù victory.
