NETWORKS: 18′ pt Prestia (C), 37′ pt Corazza pen. (C)
NOTE: Booked De Rose (C), Bartolomei (P)
7′ st Corazza tries a shot from outside the area, and it ends up just wide
6′ st At Manuzzi tonight there are 11,988 spectators, exactly twelve are missing to reach 12,000
4′ st Berti again serving with a Kargbo pocket: the number ten skips Adamonis and shoots a missile into an empty net, but someone from the red and white rearguard flies away and prevents the goal from occurring
2’st Opportunity for Cesena! Berti is always the protagonist: this time he sends Ciofi into the area who makes a low cross, which no one is quick to beat behind Adamonis
1’st Change in Perugia at half-time: Bozzolan comes in and Cancellieri comes out
1st st The second half begins. The ball will be moved by the red and whites. Cesena-Perugia 2-0
First half of the match in which there is little to add to what the scoreboard says. To tell the truth, Perugia seems well organized and tries to put together some interesting actions but, once again, Cavalluccio’s clear superiority is such that it puts the match on ice in the first 45′. We are all happy that Prestia found his first joy of the season, at the end of a championship in which he certainly deserved more. And now there is only one time left and then we will be able to say goodbye, hopefully for a long time, to this category.
47′ pt The first half ends here. Cesena-Perugia 2-0
45′ pt The fourth official signals two minutes of injury time
45′ pt Clash and too many words between Donnarumma and Angella: hint of a fight immediately quelled by the refereeing staff. The two captains, De Rose and Bartolomei, were warned following a period of confusion by the match director
44′ pt Kargo slips away from Angella, but Adamonis anticipates him with a low exit
40′ pt Meanwhile, Perugia has a reason to rejoice: men’s volleyball has just won the Serie A championship
The goal. Corazza shoots halfway to the right of Adamonis, while the goalkeeper throws himself to the opposite side. Cesena hadn’t been awarded a penalty since September
37′ pt GOOOL FROM CESENA! ELEVEN METERS PERFECT ARMOUR! Cesena-Perugia 2-0
36′ pt PENALTY KICK FOR CESENA! Saber is knocked down by Dell’Orco after an assist to Adamo’s kiss
34′ pt De Rose recovers the ball well but waits too long to serve Adamo, who ends up offside
32′ pt What a beauty Cesena on the counterattack! Berti travels quickly along the flank and sees Saber arriving out of the corner of his eye. The number eight shoots with first intention and grazes the crossbar
27′ pt Grifo occupies the opponent’s midfield without finding any useful outlets. Quick restart by Cesena, but Corazza misses the assist
24′ pt Beautiful cross from Corazza which worries the visiting defense a lot, which somehow solves the problem
22′ pt Cudrig tries to lead his team’s reaction, but Prestia puts his head into it again, this time to clear the area
The goal. Adamo takes the corner and the Bianconeri leader stands higher than anyone else, displacing Adamonis. Incredibly, it is only the first goal scored by the defender in the league
18′ pt GOOOOL FROM CESENA! PRESTIGE SCORES! Cesena-Perugia 1-0
16′ pt First shot on goal of the match: Bartolomei tries a low shot just inside the penalty area, Klinsmann pushes it out with his eyes
15′ pt Cesena tries to raise the center of gravity, but the red and whites are concentrated and press vehemently
11′ pt Delicious chocolate from Berti for Corazza but Angella, with a sudden move and a bit of cunning, anticipates it
10′ pt Excellent one-two between Berti and Corazza: the attacking midfielder arrives in the area to pass to Adamo, who completely misses the assist
7′ pt Misunderstanding about the awarding of a free kick on Grifo’s midfield: first it seemed it was in favor of the Bianconeri, but Mazzoni struggled to indicate that the foul was in favor of the defense
4′ pt Dell’Orco misses an easy pass and Corazza doesn’t take advantage. Perugia can start again
2′ pt Perugia looks for possession of the ball. Donnarumma messes up but the ball ends up at the back
1′ pt The match begins. The first ball belongs to the home team. Cesena-Perugia 0-0
Last regular season match and last chance to equal the record of 96 points held by Catanzaro. Toscano places Klinsmann between the posts to the detriment of Pisseri and Siano, and Silvestri still sits on the bench, evidently not yet at his best. On the other hand, Formisano has to do without Torrasi (suspended) and has decided not to call up Lewis, Vulikic, Iannoni and Paz (suspended booking), and Mezzoni and Seghetti (injured). With all the members present today, a victory is needed to properly celebrate a dominated championship.
