The stadiums of Catania and Brandizzo are the sixth man on the pitch, Meta and L84 take care of everything else, ahead 1-0 in the series that is giving away the 40th Italian futsal championship. Different successesby measure that of Juanra’s team, by strength that of the roster of a Paniccia who beat Fulvio Colini again.
SLINGING START
In the first match broadcast by Sky, the Meta got off to a flying start: Carmelo Musumeci was the picklock that opened the doors to the Etna paradise, as well as to Rossini’s defence. The first half ends with an eloquent 4-1. Italservice tries to get back on top in the second half, with Murilo Schiochet and Barichello creating a one-two that reopens the match, but without the comeback materialising.
MANIFEST SUPERIORITY
Same leitmotif in Brandizzo, where the L84 built its success with super starts, in both hamlets. In the first half, Maxi Rescia and Coco launched Paniccia’s neroverdi, in the second half – at 2-1 – the attack on the match: another deadly one-two, this time the lead goes to the Mateus-Josiko duo. It ends with a wide 7-2.
