Trapani Calcio loses the second consecutive match, once again at home, in the presence of Follonica Gavorrano who took to the Provinciale pitch to play their honest game.
The first leg of the Serie D Italian Cup final was played today and the Granata also had to forget last Sunday’s slip-up against Cavese in the Poule Scudetto.
Mister Torrisi chose the usual 4-2-3-1 with Ujkaj in goal, Pino, Bolcano, Sabatino and Guerriero in defense, Crimi and Palermo in protection, Kragl, Balla and Convitto in support of striker Andrea Cocco.
Let’s say that the first half was decidedly soporific for the almost 2900 spectators of the Provincial, with Gavorrano often stationed in the Granata half of the pitch, without however making themselves dangerous and with Trapani who were rarely seen in the opponent’s half of the pitch. The only thrill was a free kick from Kragl from over 30 meters with goalkeeper Filippis who was initially caught unprepared, but then inaugurated his afternoon of glory by clearing Bolcano. Cocco pounced on the rebound and put it into the net but the assistant’s flag was already raised, probably already on Bolcano’s shot.
Thus we went to half-time with a scoreless result.
Upon returning to the pitch, something very similar to what had already happened in the match against Cavese happened: the Granata remained in the changing rooms and on a restart, an intelligent opening by Pino (Antonino) was enough for Gavorrano to open up the pitch and put Regoli alone in front of Ujkaj: the first time the Granata goalkeeper managed to block but on the second he had nothing to do and Gavorrano took the lead.
Trapani felt the pinch and took a few minutes to regroup, but as against Cavese it was a more nervous than organized reaction.
At minute 56 the first sign of the uncertain day for Mr. Dorillo of Turin: on a high ball the goalkeeper Filippis clearly left the area with the ball in his hand, but for the match director everything was in order.
The balls began to flow into Filippis’s area and at the exact time of the game he performed the first miracle: a cross from the right by Pino, from the other side Convitto struck with first intention but the reflex of the Maremma goalkeeper was excellent he rejected. A couple of minutes after a melee in the area in which the Granata protested vehemently for an alleged handball, but Mr. Dorillo limited himself to waving the yellow card under the noses of the most “hot” players: Cocco and Balla for Trapani and Pignat for Gavorrano.
In the 69th minute Kragl maneuvers well in the area, takes the ball to the right and once again severely challenges Filippis who saves himself for a corner.
To have news of Gavorrano in Trapani’s half of the pitch you have to get to the 85th minute, when a shot from outside by Ceccanti was controlled in two stages by Ujkjaj.
During the seven minutes of injury time granted by the match director there was still an opportunity for Sartore neutralized by Filippis and a flying conclusion by Cocco that was just over.
Mr. Dorillo’s final whistle put the seal on Follonica Gavorrano’s feat, which without making excessive barricades, capitalized on the only real opportunity it had available, then managing with good tactical organization and then taking advantage of the team’s good day. his goalkeeper.
For Trapani the defeat is certainly a result that goes beyond their own demerits which are still there, because the team seems to have lost that quality in the play seen for example in the match in Altamura.
Certainly the Granata have the numbers and the means to reverse the situation on Wednesday afternoon in Tuscany, but it will take another attitude and another application.
