L’Happy Car Samb Under 20 closes the Viareggio stage in style with a very heavy 2-4 victory against Catania and with 9 points in the standings they mathematically qualify for the Final Phases which will take place in Genoa from 8 to 10 August.
Mister Italiano lines up the usual quintet from the start with Giordani defending the goal supported on the pitch by captain Fiscaletti, Pompei, Ragni and De Baptistis.
In the first half the match is very balanced with both teams unable to create dangerous opportunities but everything happens towards the end. Samb takes the lead first with Fiscaletti: foul in the area against the rossoblu captain who scores the penalty with his right foot, displacing the goalkeeper and making it 0-1. Catania equalized in injury time: Campagna recovered in midfield, then set off alone and only in front of Giordani did he score the 1-1 by finding the net at the far post with his left foot. A few minutes later Ragni earns a free kick in his own penalty area, unleashes a torpedo with his right foot and the ball hits the crossbar.
In the second half, Happy Car takes the lead again: excellent cross from a corner on the left by De Baptistis who finds Fiscaletti at the far post. The rossoblu captain breaks away perfectly and acrobatically scores the 1-2 and it’s a double. Not even a minute passes and the third goal arrives: De Baptistis earns a free kick near Giordani’s goal and starts a true masterpiece that gets into the seven and it’s 1-3.
Catania tries to be seen going forward: Meli served in the area deflects the ball with his knee, the ball rears up and hits the crossbar. Three minutes from the end Meli tries again with a right-footed shot at the near post but it finds the post.
In the third half, just before half-time, the rossoblu score again: Giordani uses his hands to try and find D’Angelo who, turning with his right foot, finds a great goal at the far post, 1-4. A couple of minutes pass and Meli once again in the area sends a shot towards the near post and finds the deflection of both woodwork. Four minutes from the end Meli scores the goal on a free throw and closes the gap, 2-4.
In the final, the Italiano boys managed the match excellently and brought home a fundamental victory which is worth 9 points in the standings and above all qualification for the Final Phases which will be held in Genoa from 8 to 10 August.
This is the lineup that took to the field: Fiscaletti, Pompei, Rossetti, D’Angelo, Onori, De Baptistis, Ragni C., Mandolesi, Nannuzzi, Giordani, Ragni M., Bastiani. Coach Giammario Italiano.
