Antares returns to win a high-ranking match and does so with a superlative performance against Centumcellae in the direct clash valid for second place in the group.
A match that from the start showed a very high balance between the two teams in the water, as expected, so much so that after a first half that closed at 2-2, the score at half-time was the minimum advantage of 4- 5 for the guests, good at responding to the Latin players and capitalizing on their opportunities in attack. In the third part of the game, however, it was the Pontini who dramatically raised the level of play, no longer conceding anything in defense and attacking in attack with incredible vehemence and effectiveness. In fact, thanks to a break of 5 goals scored one in a row, the Latin players completely reversed the score to 9-5 in their favor. At that point, thanks to a hint of tiredness, Centumcellae managed to mend the gap by going back up to 9 to 7 at the end of the third half. In the last quarter the match became nervous and excited, with Mr. Barbaro’s team coming within two minutes. from the end with the minimum deficit of one goal (9-8). The team dear to President Bruno Davoli was very good at managing the last tense seconds with masterly clarity and even scored the 10-8 goal of the final victory with 50 seconds to go for the final victory with the very young Alessandro Viccione, sending the bench and all the rossoblù fans into jubilation. in the stands. Watershed victory for Antares which allows them to overtake the Civitavecchia team, putting the playoff finish line back in the hands of the Pontini with five days to go from the end of the regular championship.
COMMENT COACH MAURO GUBITOSA
“Before this particularly delicate match for us, I asked the boys to put everything they had at their disposal for themselves but above all for the teammate next to them in the water and I can say that I was satisfied by seeing a team capable of getting what it wants. Now I expect continuity from these guys in view of the next delicate commitments.”
COMMENT BY NEWSMAN GIACOMO ALESSANDRI
