The dream of the Calabrian under 19 team continues, playing in Liguria in the 60th Tournament of the Regions. The boys, trained admirably by Mr. Umberto Scorrano, also beat Emilia Romagna and fly to the final!
As in the quarter-finals against Abruzzo, penalties are also needed in the semi-final to decide a tight and balanced match until the end. In the 90 minutes of regulation, the result was 1-1: Calabria took the lead in the 53rd minute, Billetta’s goal, Emilia immediately drew with Merighi, in the 56th minute. In the final, the plans for Calabria could get complicated because, with 25 minutes left, Furiato we see Mr. Volpi wave a straight red in his face for protests: ours, without any particular suffering, resist even in numerical inferiority and take the challenge to penalties.
And here, history is made: Billetta, Frasson, Mazzone and Picone don’t make mistakes, Costanzo does but luckily for him it’s an irrelevant mistake because the Emilians make two mistakes (Prandini crosses the ball and Osmani hypnotized by an amazing Mileto). This afternoon, at 4.45pm, the final against Piedmont-Valle d’Aosta at the “Sciorba Stadium” in Genoa.
