The Eagle. Party postponed for the very young team of the Lo Greco – Milani duo (today with 8 players born in 2004 on the score sheet), impacted by the expert and tough Roman team, who brought home the victory at the last second on the last useful ball, after having been behind in the score the entire match.
The tightrope walker Simone Petrolati (known to all as “thrill” for all) opened the scoring, and all it takes is a quick glance to realize that the opposing defense has left the necessary space for a goal and so in the 3rd minute L’Aquila 5 – US 0. Pietrinferni converts to make it 7 to 0. From then on it was not a great match with few emotions, a lot of imprecision in touch on both sides, a few too many “alarm clocks” and Suarez’s injury.
In the 80th minute, at 13 to 9, the last guest gust after an infinite multi-phase in which the black and green boys had put up a strenuous defense brings US to the goal at the flag, 13 to 14. The joy of the guests explodes for having violated one of the temples of the Italian oval ball, today dressed to the nines for the young home team that has returned to the door of rugby that counts after so many years.
Man of the match was the neroverde captain Luca Niro (third line). L’Aquila remains first in the standings at 87 points, followed by US Roma at 78, who however have to recover a match on May 12th against Messina, the Neroverdi’s next opponent. The appointment with history has only been postponed for President Mauro Scopano’s Club, which deserves credit for having rekindled a passion that had been dormant for too long in the City.
