Sesto San Giovanni (Milan) – It doesn’t happen, but if it happens… It didn’t happen. For both. Why the Pro Sesto wins for nothing (1-0 with rigor of Provided) and the Pro Patria adapts to the role. D Series and early holidays their respective destinies. Goodbye 2023/24.
So, the Pro Patria must win (marrying the 3 points with the defeat of Trento and the lack of success of Virtus Verona), while the Pro Sesto as well (with no more than one point for Pergolettese and/or Arzignano’s setback). And the draw? It doesn’t help anyone. Playoffs And playoffs cling to a handful of coincidences. Spent at 41 (16 white and blue victories, 14 draws and 11 Sesto successes). But the tiger cubs do not impose themselves (at theBreda” and ever) since March 29, 2009 (0-2 signed by Urbano and a penalty by Do Prado). Then, 3 draws and 4 defeats including the 2-1 last season. In the first leg (23 December) a pale pre-Christmas 0-0 at “Spurs”. In 2024 only Vicenza (18 points) better than Bustocchi away (16). For the Biancocelesti 13 points (with only 2 defeats) in the last 9. Last of the regular season simultaneously with 3 pleonastic matches (Mantua – Legnago, Padua – Triestina and Alessandria – Vicenza).
IN THE FIELD – Out of the now established Lombardoni, Piran and Pitou, Riccardo Colombo gives depth to turnover lining up Bashi at the back and Curatolo at the front. On the other side, Daniele Angellotti relies on 3-5-2 with 7/11 changed from the last one. Either he believes it a little, or he believes it a lot. The veteran Andrea Poli directs.
THE MATCH – Balanced start. In the 22nd minute Toci challenges Rovida, Florio doesn’t take advantage. More Pro Sesto. But Pro Patria is in the game. At rest it is nothing done. In the second half at 14′ Provided converts the penalty awarded for Rovida’s foul on Toci (1-0). In the 20th minute Kristoffersen scores. Then Guillaume Renault celebrates Bagheria (22′). The hosts win. But there is in their future D Series. So-so ending for the white and blues (5 defeats in the last 7).
