(Giuseppe Walter Pellegrini) The hopes of reaching the final for the title of Italian Champion for the under 15 boys of Pergolettese are dashed in Sesto San Giovanni. Lele Russo’s gialloblù are forced to give way to the dominators of the Pro Sesto championship group. After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, the return match saw the Milanese come out victorious by 5 goals to 2. Yet in the first half the dreams of painting another feat, after the ones against Cesena and Pontedera, were taking shape thanks to the two goals in their favor (the first own goal and the second by Clerici). Only the goal that closed the gap to Pro Sesto only partially dampened the enthusiasm. Having closed the first part of the match with a 2-1 lead, in the second half Pro Sesto put into practice everything that the Crema team gave them (with some doubts due to some undetected offsides) by hitting the net four times. 5 to 2 is the final result which projects them towards the final in Recanati where they will face Arezzo, who emerged victorious from the double match against Virtus Francavilla. The yellow-blues emerge with some regrets but with their heads held high from this post-championship phase, proud to have arrived among the top four teams in Italy.
