The scudetto remains in Puglia. In a packed PalaFlorio and in the first dry final in history, the Bitonto of president Intini it is repeated: second consecutive tricolor, no one had ever achieved it before since the establishment of Serie A. 3-2 with Mansueto (MVP in Bari), Renatinha and Tampa, while an excellent TikiTaka (and an excellent Duda , best goalkeeper of the match) the goals from Bertè and Vanin were not enough. After the Super Cup and the Italian Cup, Lucilèia and her teammates put the icing on the season. And now they dream of the Champions League again.
MANSUETO UNLOCKS IT – Only one goal – that of Mansueto in the 4th with a right-footed shot under the crossbar – 4 posts and a lot of Bitonto. The first half could be summarized like this: the lionesses create an impressive amount of play, but they take it out on bad luck: in fact, the conclusions of Lucilèia, Renatinha, Diana Santos and Mansueto hit the woodwork, while the TikiTaka – which in the 8th minute sends it wide with Bertè – it dangerously appears again only in the 15th minute with Vanin, stopped by De Oliveira in a one-on-one match. Before the break, a treacherous diagonal shot from Lucilèia was neutralized by Duda, who kept his players in the game.
UNTIL THE END – Gayardo’s team changes pace in the second half: 37″ are enough for Bertè for the right-footed shot that is worth the draw and, after Tampa’s nice right-footed shot saved again by Duda, 6 are needed to overtake with Vanin (great left-footed shot from a corner taken by Cortès ). When Bettioli takes off on Vanin’s parallel serve it seems like it’s set for a hat trick, but instead it’s Bitonto who makes an impact: Lucilèia works a nice ball from the edge and the number 9 slots it into the corner, crossing well with the left foot. How strange is futsal? The answer comes at the 10th. From the double (clear) opportunity created with Bettioli and Vanin (De Olivieira’s amazing) to the new overtaking by the lionesses, in fact, the step is short: the assist from Diana Santos was perfect and the touch underneath from the former Tampa player who surpassed Duda was delightful. Movement goalkeeper for TikiTaka with Xhaxho: the last chance of the final right at number 18, but Bitonto closes down and celebrates. The scudetto is not moving from Puglia.
