Serie A2, Castiglione defeated by Sarzana – Grosseto Sport

Bad evening for Blue Factor: at Casa Mora, in what could have been the key match to put the point to safety, Gamma Innovation Sarzana won 6-4 (6 points between the first leg and the second leg of the 10th in the standings for the Ligurians ). A challenge with much regret for the Biancocelesti, who can complain about some dubious refereeing decisions, but who must however recite the mea culpa for the approach taken. Without Guarguaglini, the season practically over for him, Castiglione started well and Piro’s descent and cross-court shot made it 1-0. The Rossoneri reaction took place in two minutes. Perroni’s shot from the center of the pitch is deflected in front of the goal by Tognacca to make it 1-1. Then a short clearance from Michael Saitta ends up on Brunelli, with the ball tumbling off Perroni’s stick in the center of the area and into the corner, 2-1. In the 10th minute, a shot from Piro, Pettenuzzo clears short and Ale Saitta recovers and makes it 2-2. Pistelli wastes a penalty, then Sarzana gets back ahead with Tognacca, who takes advantage of a new shot from distance by Perroni. Castiglione reacts: Piro extends into the area, Santoni volleys forward and beats Pettenuzzo, 3-3. The Ligurians regained the lead at the end of the first half, but it was a highly contested goal: Perroni concluded again from distance, the touch with the chest of a teammate in the center of the area put the Maremma goalkeeper out of action, but for the referee the goal was a good one, 4-3 and teams at rest. In the second half, Sarzana continued to defend in the zone, and Castiglione also continuously hit Pettenuzzo’s saves. Perroni scores a hat-trick on the counterattack, 5-3. The Biancocelesti’s response is entrusted to Brunelli: the conclusion is deflected again by Santoni, 5-4. Sarzana resists Maremma’s forcing, a sensational post from Brunelli, and again on the counterattack Angeletti scores Saitta for the 6-4. Montauti sees the free kick for the 10th guest foul rejected. Castiglione is unable to find energy, and for Sarzana the three points are good to move up to the penultimate position in the standings.
