Cambiaghi gives an illusion, Como draws despite the numerical inferiority

LIGNANO. Pordenone interrupts the streak of (seven) consecutive defeats, but the home draw against Como tastes even more bitter if possible: in a day that saw all the rivals in the battle for salvation defeated – Alessandria 3-0 in Frosinone , Cosenza 2-0 in Terni, Vicenza 4-0 in Monza and Crotone 3-1 in Benevento – and hope could have been rekindled, going to minus 8 from the play-outs, the neroverdi got back together in the final , immediately after remaining in numerical superiority. Beyond belief.

Three news for Tedino compared to the eleven deployed against Pisa. The starting debut of Federico Secli, the Primavera player, born in 2002, in attack with Butic stands out, while Cambiaghi is the attacking midfielder. And then there is Zammarini in the mezzala in place of the suspended Lovisa, Pasa in the direction.

In Como the expected ex Ciciretti starts on the bench, as well as the fearsome La Gumina, not in top form.

Start at a small trot for the two teams, who make a lot of mistakes and are struggling to play. However, the neroverdi seem more convinced and become dangerous in the first quarter of an hour with a couple of initiatives by the very active Cambiaghi. It is in fact the black-green star to find the goal of the advantage in the 16 ‘, with a great personal action, which began in midfield: irresistible progression ended from just inside the area with a magnificent left-handed low shot at the corner. All the class and elegance of this great talent born in 2000 from the Atalanta school.

A net that gives courage to the green lizards to push on the accelerator again and try to double first with a blow from Bassoli, then with Butic. However, it is still Cambiaghi, on 36 ‘, who touches the 2-0, starting at speed on the right, concentrating and serving soft the free Secli, who makes him the ball and with another poisonous left he forces Facchin to a super-save. The number 28 is the soul of this Pordenone, who against a Como far from determined makes no mistakes in defense and in the offensive phase relies on the inventions of his best player.

First half dominated, with the exception of Parisini’s right-footed shot in the 41st minute.

Upon returning from the locker rooms there is Vokic in place of Pasa and Pordenone starts strong again, going close to doubling with Butic, who arrives with a moment of delay for the winning paw on the short side of the new entrant. At 12 ‘, however, Como spoils the most sensational of occasions for a draw: blow from Perugini, Perisan deflects for a corner. On the developments of the corner, Gabrielloni’s close header and “impossible” save by the extreme neroverde, Solini arrives with the goal unguarded for the convenient tap-in, but from one meter he hits the post.

Como tries to push in search of a draw, but the hosts are on guard and don’t risk too much.

The victory seems to be done when, a quarter of an hour from the end, the Larians remain in ten for the expulsion of the newly entered Ioannou, who within a minute remedies two yellow cards: first a useless savage on El Kaouakibi, then an elbow to Vokic’s face.

Yet, incredibly, Pordenone shortly after collects the 1-1 goal “thanks” to the usual defensive sleep, this time on a long throw from the rear that takes the black-green power plants in backlash, Gliozzi takes advantage of it, checks and shoots, Perisan rejects, but too short, and for Gabrielloni it is a game to punch a tie.

Pordenone will return to the field on Wednesday 16 March, at 18.30, on the Cremonese field, which could return to the top if they beat Pisa.
