The last clean sheet falls Bellotto surrenders after 486 ‘Vitt punished only on a penalty

VITTORIO VENETO

On the sixth day the regional record of Andrea Bellotto, goalkeeper of Vitt San Giacomo who had never collected goals in the first 5 league games in the Second category, was broken. Among the other 503 teams included from Excellence to the Second, only Cavinese had managed to always keep a clean sheet. A small consolation is that even the Paduans lost their unbeaten run in the last second round. For Bellotto, the defeat at Lentiai was fatal: 1-0 scored by Scarton in the 36th minute of the first half, but only on a penalty. Moreover, after having saved one from Pauletti a few minutes earlier. “Sooner or later it had to happen,” admits Bellotto, born in 1990 from Vittorio Veneto, for three years in the squad after the experiences between the posts of Campolongo, San Martino Colle and Itlas Santa Giustina. «Too bad because I had guessed the trajectory, touching the ball with my fingers. However, a penalty kicked well by Scarton. If I had managed to fend off two of them it would have been great. ‘ Vitt San Giacomo therefore no longer with full points. The team coached by Massimo Marcon 4 times out of 5 had won 1-0. «With the results always in the balance it was not easy to keep the clean sheet, because the opponents were trying until the end. I tried my best with some decisive saves, especially in the first few games, when maybe we weren’t tested yet. In the last few matches I have been less industrious with shots on goal, however I try to give my contribution to direct and help my teammates in defense, being a “talker” on the pitch. At Vitt San Giacomo we are a really good group ». –
