goodbye to the dream of B

Casertana collapses against the youth of Juventus in a sold out “Pinto” and must say goodbye to the Serie B dream. Rossoblu always in trouble right from the first stages of the game without ever giving the impression of putting an opponent in difficulty who, on the other hand, has demonstrated a clear superiority in terms of play and athletic freshness. Casertana perhaps too defeatist with Carretta even left back in the first half of the game, a tactic that favored the unscrupulousness of a Juventus team that showed quality and personality, fully deserving the passage to the playoff quarter-finals and achieving another feat with the same result with which they had won in Pescara. Casertana remains disappointed at having wasted a wonderful opportunity.

Cangelosi has to do without Bacchetti, injured in the first leg, and of Proietti, the latter due to the flare-up of the muscular problem suffered on the eve of the playoffs. Both, however, on the bench to morally support their teammates. Casertana on the pitch with Montalto and Curcio from the first minute with Tavernelli starting, instead, from the bench. Sprint start for Juventus who, after two turns of the clock, came very close to taking the lead with Sekulov appearing only in front of Venturi but allowing himself to be hypnotized by the goalkeeper who deflected it into a corner. Shortly after, Hasa touches the crossbar with a right-footed shot from 16 metres. Casertana in difficulty, Juventus’ pressing is effective and the Bianconeri find inviting spaces in the opponent’s area. In sequence, first a header from Sekulov goes over the crossbar, then Cerri has the ball on his feet for a comfortable conclusion in front of the goalkeeper but he wastes everything. Casertana tries to react but only collects shots from the flag which bring no results.

In the 18th minute Juve reaped the benefits of their pressing deservedly took the lead with Sekulov which takes advantage of an indecision from the rossoblu defense. Everything in parity. Casertana in shock and a few minutes later Venturi saves on Guerra left guiltily alone by the rearguard. Casertana’s first call goes to Curcio but his conclusion from the edge is weak and easy prey for Daffara. But Juventus find gaps in the opponent’s area too easily and this time it’s Guerra’s turn to miss a good opportunity by kicking wide from an inviting position. At the end of the half the Casertana he gains meters by keeping the opponent behind without, however, building significant offensive actions.

At the beginning of the second half Cgelosi plays the Tavernelli card for Casoli for a Casertana with greater offensive propensity and after two minutes Montalto tries the conclusion from distance, Daffara careful. Juventus, however, had an evening of grace and found the net immediately afterwards the doubling with Cerri who takes advantage of an assist from Damiani and strikes Venturi on the way out. Casertana tries to react and from a corner Celiento hits a perfect header but Daffara is prodigious on the line. On another free kick, Montalto heads over from a good position.

In the 24th minute however, Juve achieved a hat trick with Guerra, thanks to another defensive omelette from the rossoblu defence. Tremendous blow because at a time when the Casertana seemed to be showing signs of recovery. Casertana’s last energies which materialize in a header from Rovaglia saved by Daffara and a conclusion from Curcio just wide of the post before Paglino’s goal in full stoppage time which only gives a few seconds of hope to the public who at the final whistle had however, he thanked the team for an important season which culminated with access to the national playoff phase. A team that wasn’t even there on August 30th last year.
