From GOL SICILIA
Modica wins without too many fuss, beating Milazzo with a classic 2-0 and gaining the pass for the national phase where they will face Aurora Alto Casertano in the first leg of the semi-final next Sunday. The game broke the deadlock shortly after the quarter of an hour with a splendid goal from Azzara. In the second half Cacciola doubled the lead. Milazzo who still leaves the play-offs with his head held high and losing the unbeaten streak that had lasted for over five months, since the thirteenth first leg of the regular season but today, the rossoblu just needed to win. Below is the news and scoreboard.
FIRST HALF – Mild pace in the opening stages, both teams seem to want to study each other more than to offend. The first bell of the match arrives in the 11th minute, Modica becomes dangerous: Savasta backheels for the onrushing Palermo who tries the shot but misses the target. At 20′ Modica ahead: short side of the penalty area, Azzara takes aim at a free kick and kicks to cross under the top corner, Quartarone was ready to come out for the cross and is surprised, it’s 1-0. Two minutes after Mamertina’s reaction: Isgrò breaks through to the right and crosses low, Ten Lopez in the stretch tries the tap-in but misses the target. Game without stops, in the 23rd minute Savasta tries from a tight angle, ball on the outside of the net. In the 31st minute Milazzo was close to equalising: wonderful free kick from Gatto from 23 metres, the ball went over the barrier and towards the top corner, Marino flew and whipped it into the corner. Thus ends the first half, Modica-Milazzo 1-0.
SECOND HALF – Ready to go and the guests immediately try: Gatto’s free kick from over 40 meters is poisonous, Marino manages to block it with his fists. In the 51st minute Mamertini are still dangerous: Agolli’s cross from the right, Marino doesn’t come out well, Ten Lopez anticipates it but sends it high. The visiting team tries to force it but Modica seems to control every sortie well, trying to attack on the restart without however creating serious dangers. Real goalscoring actions are lacking. In the 68th minute, Gatto’s usual free kick, this time from the edge, a ball half a meter high. In the 78th minute following the development of a corner, Strange brushes it to the far post, Parisi emerges and heads it high. In the 79th minute, Modica doubled their lead: Cacciola scored, like a true striker, waiting for Quartarone to come out and coolly beating him, it was 2-0. The net cuts off the legs of Gatto and his teammates who try some sorties but without too much intensity. It ends like this: Modica-Milazzo 2-0.
