Goals and entertainment today at Garilli in Piacenza where coach Osian Roberts’ Azzurri scored a top five against Feralpisalò. Cutrone scored twice for Como, once each for Barba, Strefezza and Braunoder. Hosts who were never subdued but who in the end had to surrender in the face of a very determined Como team to win three very important points with a view to promotion and which projected them just three points away from leaders Parma while waiting to know the results of Venezia and Cremonese which they will play soon. The Azzurri are in great form, to tell the truth there have been a couple of errors in defence, but the technical potential is very high and the offensive plays of Cutrone, author of a brace, together with those of Strefezza, Da Cunha and Gabrielloni have made a difference.
41′ GGGGOLLLL COMOOOO BRAUNODER with a powerful low shot from the edge of the area he closes it………………….
40′: more emotions at the Garilli with Feralpi not giving up despite being two goals behind and Como not giving up on making themselves dangerous. In the 27th minute Feralpi had an opportunity with Bulic who took advantage of a ball lost by Braunoder and had the chance to kick from a good position, the ball ending up not far from the left post of Semper’s goal. In the 30th minute Como had an opportunity with Sala hitting the post with a fabulous shot from the left, doubtful after Iovine was booked. At 31′ Bergonzi powerfully from the edge, Semper’s catch is secure. In the 33rd minute Baselli and Chajia came on instead of Da Cunha and Cutrone, who today scored a brace and hit the post. Chajia immediately stands out and sends it high from a good position. In the 38th minute another change, Cassandro comes on in place of Iovine. Zennaro is cautioned.
19′ GGGOLLL COMOOO MAGIAAAA OF STREFEZZAAAAA….. with a shot from the left he sends it to the intersection on the opposite side with the ball hitting the inside post and going into the net. Previously, a splendid move by Cutrone in the 17th minute who serves the ball on the edge of the area to Strefezza, the shot is ready and Pizzignacco does well to deflect it into a corner. Changes in Feralpisalò with Krastev and Dubickas coming in for Compagnoni and Letizia in the 19th minute. Gioacchini and Abildgaard enter Como in place of Bellemo and Gabrielloni.
10′: rather long teams at this start of the second half, a spectacle that is not lacking with continuous reversals and quick actions, Feralpi immediately forward with a shot from Felici deflected into a corner, in the 6th minute Braunoder from outside the area with the left, ball on the back.
SECOND HALF
Exciting match with Como going into the break with a 3-2 lead at the end of the first half. Felici scored first for the hosts in the 16th minute but Mr. Roberts’ boys reacted immediately and equalized in the 21st minute with Cutrone, in the 31st minute the second goal for the Azzurri came thanks to Barba with a header and in the 39th minute it was Cutrone again, unleashed today in Piacenza, in an acrobatic effort to save Como’s third goal. In full recovery, Zennaro gets Feralpisalò back into the running with a low shot.
45′ + 1′ FERALPISALO’ ZENNARO GOAL with a poisonous diagonal low shot he puts his team back in the running.
39′ GGGOLLLL COMOOOO CUTRONEEEEE on the second consecutive attempt with a magnificent acrobatics he scores a double, shortly before in the same action born from a cross from Strefezza he hit the crossbar… in the 36th minute Da Cunha gives the ball to Cutrone who turns but shoots high. In the 40th minute, a wild Cutrone hits the inside post of the opponent’s goal. From 42′ Balestrero replaced Tonetto.
31′ GGGGOLLLL COMO BARBA the breakthrough with a header assisted from the left by Strefezza…at 23′ Iovine on the right goes for a low shot, another deflection into the corner. In the 24th minute, Da Cunha’s edge from the edge of the area engages Pizzignacco who doesn’t hold the ball but there are no Azzurri ready to take advantage of it. In the 28th minute Feralpisalò entered the area alone from the left and beat towards Semper who was very good at saving his own goal by blocking with his foot.
21′ GGGGGOLLLL COMO CUTRONEEEEEE puts the result back on par, Strefezza’s corner kick, Gabrielloni’s header and Cutrone appears behind him and is very good at putting it in from close range. Previously in the 20th minute another assist from Iovine for Cutrone, the shot is ready but there is a deflection into the corner.
16′ FERALPISALO’ HAPPY GOAL he finds an opening on the left and shoots towards Semper, a slight deflection from Iovine and the ball into the back of the net
15′: Como pressing but the hosts pressing all over the pitch, it’s not easy to find the spaces to sink shots, a couple of bursts to heat up these first minutes: in the 8th minute, nice service into the area by Iovine for Gabrielloni who fails to check, the opportunity disappears. In the 10th minute a Feralpi goal by Dubickas was annulled due to a previous foul by Felici on Iovine. In the 15th minute, Bellemo’s header goes just over the top corner of Pizzignacco’s goal.
