This time the injury time was mocking with Como 1907 who yesterday, Sunday 5 May, saw the first match point worth direct promotion to Serie A vanish. At the Sinigaglia in Como there was a giant screen for the match.
Match point vanished for Como 1907
Yesterday afternoon, Sunday 5 May, the 0-0 draw obtained at the Braglia stadium in Modena was not enough because the leap into the top flight which seemed to have been accomplished was stopped by the 2-1 goal scored by Venezia in injury time against Feralipisalò . A very heavy goal which decreed the relegation of Feralpisalò to Serie C, but at the same time, allowed the Venetians to still remain in the running for the direct Serie A given that they are now only 2 points behind Como with one round left to play in the regular season of the cadet tournament. Once again a heart-pounding finale for the many Como fans who, despite the ban on going to the away match in Modena, yesterday gathered in over 5,000 in the stands of the Sinigaglia stadium to follow the Azzurri’s match on the giant screens. Unfortunately, that goal scored in added time by Venezia choked the cry of joy that the Azzurri people had been waiting for for years. In fact, the last time that Como was in Serie A dates back to the 2002-03 season. Now everything has been postponed to the last day which will be played on Friday 10 May at 8.30 pm and which will see the Azzurri playing against Cosenza at the Sinigaglia stadium. Azzurri who are masters of their destiny: to fly to Serie A they must win or achieve the same result as Venezia who will be involved in La Spezia, but who will only have to win to hope for the sensational overtaking in the sprint.
In short, all in a night that on the Lario they hope will ultimately be the longest and bluest possible.
