PRESS NOTE CATANIA FOOTBALL CLUB
A remarkable performance in terms of quality and character is not enough for Catania Under 19: the return match of the playoff B final of the Primavera 4 tournament ends at 0-0 and Ancona, therefore, celebrates promotion to Primavera 3. Pappalardo and his teammates, the biggest regret is represented by the goal disallowed in the final by Lorenzo Russo.
The head of the Rossazzurri youth sector Orazio Russo observes: “The match was very balanced in the first half, the second half was one-sided despite allowing for some counterattacks; I think I can say that success would have been the right reward for our boys. There is a lot of disappointment, especially after dominating the group, but it doesn’t stop us from thanking the club for putting us in a position to experience a season of growth and development. I think it is right to give great and heartfelt applause to Mr. Biagianti, to the staff and to all the under 19 players, who truly gave their all: the bitter epilogue does not cancel out the extraordinary results.”
