Messina – Victory arrives on the second day of the Coppa Italia for Icierre Lamezia in the Arena Beach Stadium of Torre Faro in Messina against the team from Sicily. Walter Pellegrino’s team raises its arms to the sky at the end of a match that was not a foregone conclusion but that the biancoverdi were able to bring home with authority.
The match report: “The black-green team had to do without Giampà, suspended after his expulsion in the match against FVG, and at the last moment De Fazio with a swollen knee. Despite these additional absences, the Lametini did not let themselves be overwhelmed even when they went behind with a penalty kick by Missale in the 6th minute of the first half. The reaction of the Icierre arrived quickly. And between the 8th and 9th minute first Balinha (invested with the captain’s armband today) and then S. Tutino overturned the score. In the second half, Sicily found the equalizer (9th) with a daring and unlucky action. Martino came out of his own area and went to hit the ball on the fly, which, full of power, hit Milazzo and came out in a parabola that managed to slip into the goal. This time too, however, the Sicilians found a prompt reaction from the Lametini who again in the space of a minute (10th and 11′) extend to 4-2 again with Balinha and then Ryan. The Sicilians’ third-half push brings only one goal that does not compromise the victory of the neroverdi who tomorrow afternoon will face Chiavari who overcame Brancaleone after the tdr thus letting an interesting and very significant derby slip away”.
