Mirror formations on the pitch between Rotonda and Fidelis Andria, who line up with a 4-3-3. Numerous important absences for the Andria team, with the suspended Ferrara, the inpatients Riefolo and Lauriola, and the out of the squad Strambelli and Silvestri. Rotonda in search of arithmetic salvation today, with striker Lautaro Fernandez leading the forward ranks.
In the 5th minute Scaringella finished with a heel for Martinez, who earned an interesting free kick, taken by Bottalico which produced no important effects.
In the 7th minute a stray cross into the area for Russo who is unable to control it and kick towards the goal.
In the 9th minute it was Rotonda who looked dangerously towards Baietti, with Cardore kicking and rejecting the guest number one for a corner. Pagana’s team is pressing in this phase.
In the 13th minute, excellent ball from Cancelli for Cecere who puts it at the far post for Russo, the ball returns to Cecere who tries the turn just over.
Andria positions itself with a 4-4-2 with Cecere and Russo as wingers in midfield, Scaringella repeats the tactical key of the last match against Manfredonia.
Round opportunity in the 19th minute with a ball from the left that crosses the entire penalty area, he tries to turn it towards the Cardore goal blocked by captain Donida.
Rotonda takes the lead in the 21st minute: Cardore’s corner, Brunet left alone in the center of the area breaks the deadlock with a close touch. The markings in the Fidelis area need to be reviewed.
First cooling break of the spring season, with the teams cooling off in the 23rd minute.
The biancozzurri’s reaction hasn’t been much so far, we’ve reached the 35th minute of the first half.
In the 38th minute, Fidelis equalized somewhat surprisingly: a lightning strike between Cecere and Scaringella, with the Andriese player hitting the inside post with a surgical right-footed shot and scoring. Great play by the biancazzurri in the finishing phase.
Two minutes of injury time were allowed. This is how the first half of the game ends, with a match led for long stretches by the home team, with Fidelis putting them back on par with an invention from the now usual Cecere.
The match restarts at the same time as the other fields, and Rotonda is immediately very dangerous with Cardore’s header in the 47th minute, the ball just wide. Prelude to the goal: a minute later the substitute Bamba escapes the defense at speed, leaps past Baietti as he comes out and deposits the opening goal for the home team into the net.
In the 51st minute the Federico coach introduced Jefferson in place of Martinez, throwing centimeters into the mix in attack in search of an equalizer.
The high pressure from the home team does not stop, keeping the blue and white away from their own area.
A whirlwind of substitutions in the 61st minute, and a minute later it was Jefferson all alone in front of Dramè who raised his aim too much and wasted a great opportunity.
The match is struggling to get back on track, with its ears turned to the other fields.
In the 72nd minute, Jefferson fell in the area and the blue and whites protested vehemently: the Brazilian striker himself paid the price, receiving a yellow card for protesting.
Jefferson has a very good chance in the 82nd minute: Bottalico catches him only in the area, controls it, turns and shoots, however, quite weakly.
In the 85th minute it was Cecere again who knocked on a rejected ball following Bottalico’s free kick, which went wide.
Looking very dangerous in the 87th minute, he focuses and kicks towards the goal, Baietti guards.
Rotonda again which concludes with Ankovic, miraculous Baietti. Fidelis has now stopped.
5 minutes of injury time were granted, while the celebration of salvation between the home team was being prepared.
Very nervous match at the end but the result doesn’t change.
Fidelis Andria a little dull in terms of desire and hunger today, an understandable state of mind after the long run-up that saw the blue and whites as protagonists with the advent of Mr. Scaringella. Mathematical fourth place with a day to spare, Fidelis will play the play offs away in Nardò on May 12th with one result out of three to go through. Rotonda saves itself a day early and remains in Serie D.
