“Pietrelli freezes Cittadella in the final, only one point against Feralpisalò”, he writes PaduaToday.
Carissoni takes the Granata forward, Pietrelli takes it back in the 94th minute in the 35th matchday of Serie BKT. Mission half-accomplished for Gorini, +8 from the playout with 3 days still to play, but he doesn’t break into the playoff zone against Sampdoria.
Almost safe, almost in the playoff zone. Cittadella maintains the category for the eighth year in a row, but wastes yet another opportunity to reach the coveted – at this point – playoff zone. It’s all the fault, so to speak, of Pietrelli from Feralpisalò, who with a great solo in the 94th minute equalized the score at Tombolato.
The first half
Low rhythms and boredom. The first twenty minutes at Tombolato are a hymn to the non-joy of football, with physical play, at times cumbersome, decidedly unspectacular. Undisputed protagonist? Lorenzo Carissoni. Gorini’s all-rounder saved the result in the 17th minute with a desperate recovery on Compagnon who was thrown into the net and four minutes later he was stubborn and obstinate in putting his team ahead with a left-footed shot deflected into the net by the unfortunate Pilati. Second goal for the former Latina, after the one at the end of September away against Catanzaro.
The match, despite the home team’s goal, remains sleepy, with few emotions. The only jolts are always of the Granata brand, with Pittarello’s outside post (eighth wood of the season) and Pizzignacco’s intervention on the always active Tessiore. Feralpisalò, even at the last resort, offers little and the only trace of credibility in terms of maneuver is the ball for the flares on the left of Felici.
The second half
Cittadella didn’t change anything after the break, while at Feralpisalò La Mantia immediately came on in place of Butic. The Lombards, unlike the first 45′, are a little more lively and in the 51st minute Giraudo loses a bloody ball in an attempt to pass back towards Kastrati, with Compagnon managing to get to the ball, he concludes, but finds Kastrati in a shutter version. Gorini, for his part, continues with the initial strategy waiting for the right moment to attack the spaces, like in the 63rd minute, when Tessiore goes with little conviction on a ball worked splendidly by Vita on the right.
The match comes alive around mid-time. Sottini saves the result in the 65th minute with a very deep diagonal finish following the insertion of captain Balestrero, a minute later the usual Vita-Carissoni axis creates a ball for Pittarello, but the header from the Paduan is high. Kastrati seals the result in the final with another result-saving save from La Mantia’s header, but in the 94th minute Pietrelli starts from the left in a personal action, Angeli doesn’t shorten it with due attention and the 2003 class player beats it with a nice diagonal low shot. the goalkeeper of Kastrati.
