BROLO – A memorable performance for the Junior Sport Lab Women, who beat Lecce with a clear 8 to 0 in the return match (result of the first leg 1-1) of the Under 19 national pairing, thus qualifying for the category semi-final against Roma Calcio, a club in Serie C.
On the synthetic pitch of the Comunale di Brolo, the home team immediately puts their foot down on the accelerator, breaking the deadlock with Maria Rita Bertè’s masterful free kick; the ball goes around the barrier and goes near the post. A few minutes later, Carlotta Saraniti sprints on the edge of offside and doubles with precision. On the wings of enthusiasm, Karima Nigito flies to the left and scores the hat trick with a diagonal counter-ball shot. In the second half, we await the proud reaction of the Salento team, but instead it is still JSL who hits the target five times. Jacqueline Bilardi made it 4-0 with a spectacular shot from far away. Then they fatten up the loot: Nigito, Arianna Colandrea, Denise Merlino and Giordana Fiorente. The next match against the Capitolines is scheduled for Saturday afternoon 8 June, again in the Tyrrhenian municipality.
“It was the perfect match, both for the approach to the match and for the mentality with which the girls continued after going 2-0 – declared the coach Marco Palmeri -. Great mental growth and, above all, they were finally cynical in front of goal, adequately finalizing the amount of play created. The players who took over in the second half were also good, many of them very young, who demonstrated that they know how to be in this group and are able to express their qualities.”
