Acea Rugby Perugia is ever closer to salvation. The red and white team beats Colleferro within the friendly walls (45-35) and reaches 28 points in the standings, which is worth the third-to-last place ahead of Benevento and Arechi at 26. Next Sunday, in the Salerno team’s home, Caruso and his teammates they will be able to achieve the coveted objective of remaining in Serie B. It will clearly be necessary to win the direct clash, but the Acea of the last few weeks is a team that offers greater guarantees, in terms of performance and consequently the result.
What also happened against Colleferro: match of substance and application, won by coming from behind in the second half after the first half had ended with the Lazio team leading (21-25).
“We had another great performance – comments coach Poloni with satisfaction – against a strong opponent on a technical and character level. The boys were good at implementing our game plan and reacting to the difficulties of the match. Now let’s think about enjoying this victory and then we will start preparing for the Salerno match, to definitively close the accounts. We deserve salvation.”
Captain Francesco Caruso was also satisfied.
“Before the match I spoke to my teammates, explaining the importance of this day. I asked for a performance to remember and so it was. A lot has changed in recent weeks, especially in the locker room. We united and said that we didn’t want to finish last. Now we’re playing for survival with great chances and we can’t wait to celebrate.”
Appointment on Sunday 5 May in Salerno. Acea Rugby Perugia will clearly need a victory to avoid the play-outs. In case of defeat, we will have to hope for a misstep by Benevento in Rome against Capitolina.
