The match, played in great heat, was also particularly felt in the stands, complete with banners, smoke bombs and chants. Paying the price, partly for the importance of the match and partly for the opponent’s vehement start, is the Genoawho already in the 6th minute of the game averts the disadvantage on the grey-red crossbar Zanardelli.
In general, however, the first half presents a Genoa team that tries hard to find the physicality of its strikers, Bailon And Mouthsand a more organized Cremonese team in getting out with the ball and exploiting its potential which almost seems to paint it more like an Under 15 team than an Under 14 team. The second ring comes at the end of the first half (35 minutes into the game, ed) with a second crossbar, this time hit by Ciceri, which bounces just this side of the goal line. In short, in the first half the rossoblu born in 2010 found it difficult to put into practice the good things they had done throughout the season.
The second half, however, showed a more self-confident Genoa, who buffered Cremonese more in the left lane thanks also to the entry of Bavestrello. Eight minutes pass and, in the 43rd minute of the game, the rossoblù Under 14 team is rewarded: a long breakthrough action that leads to the first corner of the second half. A melee breaks out which Fracchia resolves with a close tap-in which makes it one-nil.
Genoa persisted, appearing to be in control of the match, and hit the post on a shot in the 44th minute Mental. The substitution that will decide the match arrives in the 45th minute, when tiredness begins to make itself felt, and it is that of Consiglio for Bailon. The rossoblù number 18 tries already in the 51st minute of the game, finding Valentini attentive, and then repeats it at the photo finish. In the middle, in the 61st minute, Cremonese equalized: Ciceri’s right-footed shot went under the crossbar with Scognamillo beaten. A really good goal for what, on points, is a deserved draw.
But Genoa isn’t there and takes full advantage of the five, long minutes of injury time granted by the referee, added to which in the 73rd minute of the game is Filippone’s expulsion with a red card, presumably for a few too many words spoken to the referee. Two minutes pass and in the 75th minute Consiglio, following a breakthrough action and assist from Bocchi, from a tight angle, unloads a powerful right-footed shot under the crossbar, where the grey-red goalkeeper cannot reach. It’s the 2-1 goal. This is followed by a collective celebration of players and bench for three platinum points against avery respectable opponent.
