Pergo falls in Padua at the home of the second in the standings and sees the road to salvation becoming more complicated. Pergo plays well but it’s not enough, they also pay for a bit of bad luck and mistakes in front of goal. Pergo starts well and in the 9th minute Jaouhari is already dangerous, Soncin plays on Fusi in the 19th minute but Fusi scores from the corner with a ball deflected by Jaouhari with a lot of bad luck. In the 31st minute, a great team effort and on Guiu Vilanova’s cross, the onrushing Piu missed the deflection by a whisker. Pergo pushes, Donnarumma saves him from Piu’s gore but from Bariti’s cross Piu comes in from the air for Arini’s goal. Close match in the second half but a shot from Palombi hits Bortolussi’s back and the ball displaces Soncin. Three minutes later Soncin saves from Bortolussi who launches into the net. Pergo’s forced final was dangerous with Jaouhari, Mazzarani and above all Figoli who wasted the most delicious of opportunities. Padova wins.
