At the last assault Lucero takes Bisceglie to the final. The Apulian team will play for access to D with Costa d’Amalfi in the double final scheduled for 9 and 16 June. After a 3-3 draw in the first leg, a 1-1 draw was enough to gain the pass. Mister Di Meo opts for a hyper-offensive deployment with Pignataro, after three rounds of suspension due to disqualification, at the center of the attack next to Di Rito. The sacrificed player is the midfielder Fucci, confirmations for the attacking wingers Kone on the right and Bonicelli on the left. On the other hand, Lamezia presents an important innovation in attack: Catania replacing Giovanni Foderaro. There is no crowd for big occasions, to be clear, not the same one that packed the “Ventura” in the group playoff final with Molfetta; there was a large representation following Vigor, with 400 fans in the away section.
The match
At 14′ the first call comes from Calabria with Spanò stopped on his way out by Suma. In the 19th minute it was once again the former Fasano goalkeeper who removed a ball deflected from the center of the area on a corner from the goal. On the turnaround in front, Pignataro attempts a Eurogoal whose shot is blocked by Columbro. In the 28th minute Curcio takes a free kick: the left-footed tackles Suma who takes refuge in the corner. In the 32nd minute the Calabrians claimed a penalty for a contact between Farucci and Catania at the moment of the shot. Pignataro’s first flash in the 35th minute: he catches a low cross from Bonicelli, turns but raises his aim too much.
The second fraction
After a bit of rain, the same 22 return to the field. The first danger is a header from Pignataro in the 10th minute, central. Two minutes later, Di Rito in the area, turned, saves Columbro. Then the striker goes out due to a muscle problem, Fucci comes in. On the first attack Vigor wins a corner and on the developments Bernardi, already on target in the first leg, sends it into the net from the center of the area. Hard blow for Bisceglie who in the 35th minute tries with Kone, a right-footed shot to forget. Goal ball for Foderaro who only in front of Suma sends it wide. In the second of the 8′ of injury time, Lucero’s volley: high. After the second wasted again by Foderaro, in the last attack it was Lucero who collected a ball on the line after a superb save following an acrobatic move by goalkeeper Suma, who went into the area for the final action. Half the goal belongs to him.
