On the last day, coach Costantini’s biancazzurri got the better of Paganese THE PHOTOS
FASANO – The greatest motivations win with Us Fasano overcoming Paganese 1926 (3-2) within the walls of the “Curlo” already with their mind on the holidays. Mister Costantini’s team has every intention of realizing last Sunday’s “Puttilli” feat and shows the right determination to get the better of the Campanians, achieving a victory that is enough to score with direct salvation, without having to accounts with the results of the other competitors. At the final whistle there was celebration in the stands, packed for the occasion, for a salvation that only fifteen days ago seemed decidedly in danger, but the club found the strength to make a change with the technical change and by rallying around a group that showed off the maximum potential on the brink of the precipice leading to the play-outs.
Last of the regular season with Us Fasano hosting an already safe Paganese 1926, but it’s not the same for the home team who must aim for victory to achieve direct salvation, without having to deal with the results of the other competitors . Pagani’s guests are fresh from the home round victory against Santa Maria Cilento (4-0). On the other hand, the locals have on their shoulders the heavy victory of Barletta (2-3) in the last round which reopened the question of direct salvation.
The Campanians are aiming for a 4-3-3 with the Faiello-Coratella-Porzio trident
Mister Quaglietta’s Paganese lines up with a 4-3-3 tactical formation with the trident Faiello, Coratella and Porzio. On the midline Del Gesso, De Gennaro and Mancino. On the back line Iannello and Setola on the outside, Galeotafiore and Esposito in the center, with Grimaldi in goal.
Local with the 3-5-2 with the attacking duo Persano-Losavio
Mister Costantini’s Fasano, making his full debut as first guide, lines up with a 3-5-2 Persano and Losavio up front, while Melillo, Battista and Ganci are in the circle, with Manfredi and Esposito on the outside. On the rear line Martellotta, Pambianchi and Aprile, in Porta Lazar.
Battista and Losavio unblock it with Esposito chasing
In the news, first ring in the 3rd minute with Melillo triggering Losavio’s header for the safe save by the Campania goalkeeper. The locals’ advantage was only postponed to the 5th minute, when Battista, served by Losavio, folded Grimaldi’s hands with a low shot from the edge of the area. Locals again in action in the 15th minute with Melillo who passes the ball to Persano, but his undersized header misses the target. Persano is back in action in the 16th minute, again on a cross from Melillo, with the header going off the back of the post. The visitors’ first action came in the 22nd minute with Mancini’s corner for Galeotafiore, but his shot was high over the crossbar. Campani shoots in the 27th minute with Mancini missing the target from outside. The second goal came in the 30th minute with Losavio finishing off an insistent attacking action with a close-range shot. Reaction from the guests in the 33rd minute with Porzio attacking Lazar from distance with a diagonal shot from the left. Melillo hits the crossbar in the 34th minute with a volley from the edge. Paganese closes the gap in the 42nd minute with Esposito who heads home a corner from Mancino.
Dorato and Coratella also scored but nothing changed
In the second half in the 6th minute Persano appears on the edge of the area and tries with a diagonal shot that misses the target. In the 20th minute Manfredi tries the cross for the head of Losavio who is unable to get the right header from the ball which ends up in the arms of the substitute Ciacciacuopi. Dorato takes care of it in the 22nd minute with his header, following Manfredi’s perfect suggestion from the right to make it 3-1. Locals again in action in the 32nd minute with Manfredi passing the ball for the substitute Lorenzo who tries the flying deflection with a high ball. From distance Iannone warms up Lazar’s gloves in the 39th minute. Clumsy deflection for a corner by Cacciacuopi in the 42nd minute following a central shot by Battista. Paganese closes the gap again in the 44th minute with Iannone who passes the ball towards the head of Coratella who scores alone in the area. This will be the last action of a match that puts a difficult season to rest, but with the blue and white having achieved direct salvation in the last two days.
