Arezzo, 14 June 2024 – Pieve al Toppo mortgages its success already in the first half of the game with goals from Credendino and Arapi, and then controls the return of the opponents in the second half who manage to reduce the deficit, with Orlandini on a penalty kick .
A truly intense match that did not disappoint expectations, with the two teams playing it head-on, even if, in the initial part, it was Manuel Branchi’s eleven that gained a certain territorial supremacy and was able to break the deadlock in the match, thanks to defensive inattention from Tregozzano, on Calussi’s free kick which favors Credendino’s winning deflection, from close range.
The match grows in tone and begins to offer continuous reversals in front, with Tregozzano who, despite the great amount of work in the middle of the field, fails in the last pass, to free a man to shoot and Pieve al Toppo who on the developments of a corner kick finds the second goal with Orlandini and the first half of the game ends with the conclusion of the captain Marraghini, with a safe shot and blocked on the goal line by Moretti.
The physiognomy of the match in the second half was obvious to this, with Tregozzano returning to the pitch of the “Nocciolini” of Pieve al Toppo, determined to recover the result, trying to contain the opponent’s rearguard through external routes and Pieve al Toppo tightening the teeth, defends himself with order and starts promptly on the counterattack and in a couple of circumstances comes close to scoring the third mark, with two shots from Panichi, in the first circumstance he concludes from the edge and sends the ball just wide, in the second well served by Bernacchia, almost like a moving penalty, he finishes weakly in the arms of Szot Klaudius.
Tregozzano, having escaped the danger, returns to play the game and following a contact in the area, the match director assigns the penalty to Mister Antonio Scacchi’s eleven. Orlandini is responsible for taking the maximum free kick and he coolly converts and reopens the match.
At this point Tregozzano tries everything to achieve the equalizer and Salvi gives Tegli a thrill with his diagonal conclusion which sends the ball just wide, by a matter of centimeters.
However, Pieve al Toppo did not lose their nerve and continued to play their game, shaking off the pressure of their opponents and coming close to scoring the third with Bernacchia who forced Szot Klaudius into overtime to avoid capitulation.
