Bold Verona against Kick Off, Once again. The final that will award him scudetto Under 19 it’s a déjà vu of last year. TikiTaka Francavilla and Bitonto stopped in the semi-finals (both with a narrow knockout). Tomorrow at 11 am on Futsal TV, live from the PalaFlorio in Bari, the last act of the season.
BOLD TRIS – TikiTaka was immediately in danger with D’Alessandri (crossbar and double conclusion), but Pomposelli’s team found the right opening: Zardini’s throw and sprint behind De Cao’s defence, which mocked Ricci. Save from the Giallorossi goalkeeper on Zandonà, then another assist with the hands of Zardini for Morosini’s winning touch: 2-0 at half-time. Once again the first moves are from the Abruzzo team: double attempt by D’Alessandri, Zinni high from a very good position, then crossbar after a shot to cross and tap in by Ruggieri which ends up wide. The goal seems to be in the air for the Giallorossi, but it is Zandonà who hits the target which counts with a left-footed shot from the edge. Big reaction for TikiTaka: Ruggeri (with a tip under the crossbar) and Riccio reopen the semi-final within a minute, then Santangelo’s confident shot which however finds the miraculous intervention of Zardini. D’Alessandri and Zinni: the number of TikiTaka conclusions rises up to the 15th minute, the minute in which the Audace meets again with Romano. Sensational opportunity for the Giallorossi in the 17th minute: Ruggieri goes into the open field on the counterattack, but misses the measurement of the pass to the far post for D’Alessandri. Inside Zinni as movement goalkeeper and other TikiTaka forcing. Nothing to do. The defense of Audace: 3-2 and a new final reached for the Rossonere.
KICK OFF HUNTING FOR AN ENCORE – The initial phase of the second semi-final is negotiated. The teams study each other carefully and try to attack each other at the restart. The one in the 7th of the Kick Off was more effective: Carbone served on the right for Donadoni who beat Colasuonno with a tip, then Carbone scored the second 4′ later. Ghilardi’s crossbar in the middle, but before the break Bitonto gets back on track with a personal action by captain Abbadessa: dribble and right foot to the corner behind Ubiali, the same one who shortly after denies Divincenzo the joy of the equalizer . High pace in the second half: Divincenzo and Ghilardi the most active, Buquicchio narrowly missed the shot at the far post. But we have to wait until the 9th for the result to change again with Ghilardi, who did well to beat the blameless Coletto – who had just come on for the black-green power play – with a left-footed shot that kissed both posts before slipping into the net. Divincenzo still gives the Apulians hope with a great shot from the right, then the back and forth between Teani (with the goal unguarded) and Coletto: 4-3 for the Kick Off at the siren, Bitonto out amidst the applause.
