The anticipation is mounting for the playoff final of Group B of Eccellenza which will pit Modica Calcio against Milazzo. The rossoblù arrive at the big match with two results out of three available, in the event of a draw in the 90th minute and further parity after extra time, in fact Modica thanks to the best placing secures the pass for the National phase, but Isgrò & co. they will sell their lives dearly, taking advantage of the excellent form that has allowed them to reach 19 matches in a row without defeat.
The team coached by Venuto (absent due to suspension until June 10) comes from the narrow success (2-1) against Jonica FC in the Semifinal last weekend, decided by goals from Ten Lopez and La Spada. The goal of the Brazilian Flavinho Dos Santos, who had reopened the game, did not undermine the certainties of the Milazzo rossoblù who were good at managing the slightest advantage without granting further opportunities to Famulari’s team. During the long break, Settineri’s team continued to work hard so as not to be unprepared for the match that will give them access to the national phase of the play-offs for Serie D, an objective that Captain Vindigni wants to achieve before leaving football .
“I hope to give Serie D to my city” are the words of Vindigni. The owners ask for everyone’s support to support the team in the most important match in recent Modican history. The appeal was accepted by the city with the Barone heading towards sold out. We have gained a unique opportunity. Now let the whole city push the kids towards the shared goal.”
“There are moments when demonstrating that you are there can make the difference, especially in football. Feeling the presence of an entire city – explain the Patrons Radenza and Pitino – which pushes and believes in the sporting and social result can determine the result. We have always believed in it – they continue – and we have always pushed, especially in a rollercoaster season, even when at certain moments it would have been easier to postpone until the following year or when, even worse, it would have been easier to give up on the objective.
Centimeter after centimetre, we have earned the chance to play in these playoffs. With the dignity of those who know they have won this opportunity and with the courage of those who are not afraid to try, on Sunday we will go and play our play-off final. After all, dignity and courage are two of the adjectives that best represent the city of Modica, its inhabitants and its economic-social fabric. And we really hope that it will be our city, this Sunday, that will accompany our boys towards the final goal”
Modica Calcio – Milazzo will also be a challenge between strikers: on the one hand Savasta who with 20 goals has conquered the scorers’ ranking of Group B, on the other La Spada who with 16 goals (including the goal against Jonica FC) has dragged Milazzo. The balance between the two teams in the regular season saw Modica winning 1-0 in the opening match (10 September 2023) in front of the friendly public with a goal in the 83rd minute by Agodirin; at the Marco Salmeri on 7 January 2024 it ended in a goalless draw after 115 minutes of play. The Vincenzo Barone meeting scheduled for Sunday starting at 4 pm will be directed by Mr. Roberto De Paolis of the Cassino Section. The assistants will be Mrs. Valeria Spizuoco of the Cagliari Section and Mr. Giuseppe Chiarillo of the Moliterno Section.
