The advance of the first day against Vado ends 2-2. Otélé and Diallo scored in just one minute
TORTONA
Two goals ahead were not enough for Derthona to return from Vado with three points: with a second half less strenuous than the first, the bianconeri got back up to a level 2-2 final. The Serie D championship of Derthona has started early, to allow amortization of the double trip between championship and cup: yesterday the first trip to Liguria, in Vado, Wednesday 22 new departure for Lentigione, province of Reggio Emilia, where will play the single round in the dry match of the Italian Cup. The bianconeri’s debut was not the simplest, on paper, and this was confirmed on the pitch, against a team rescued from relegation but very ambitious, as per the market. However, the first hour of the match showed a high-profile Derthona, with organized play, excellent individual cues and speed on the outside such as to send the hosts in ambiance and not only on the occasion of the two goals scored. Coach Zichella confirms the 4-3-3 he tried in the friendlies, albeit by changing some positions, also due to the absences of Manasiev and Kanteh. The pivot of the midfield is entrusted to the young Filip, alternating with the right half Colantonio, with the left-handed Procopio to complete the midline. Todisco climbs in defense to make a central couple with Emiliano, on the sides the young Valerio and Luzzetti in front of Teti, starting offensive trio with Saccà and Otélé on the sides of Diallo. Departure to a thousand for Derthona, apart from a goal canceled at Lo Bosco for offside in the very first start. First Otélé serves Saccà in the area for a good chance, then the goal, with the central De Bode losing the ball, Diallo unloads and Otélé comes running to score.
IMMEDIATE DOUBLE
A minute later, the doubling, with an exchange on the left between Procopio and Otelè and then serve Diallo for the decisive powerful touch. The Vado fails to shake, despite hitting a crossbar with Pantano, but then there is still a lot of Derthona, in particular with Saccà, the former on duty, unleashed in various conclusions and assists that deserved better luck, including a crossing of the posts hit by a corner. In the second half, the control of the game still remains at Derthona but shortly thereafter the episode of the goal changes the game. Emiliano slips to try to stop Capra unleashed in various dribbles and the Ligurian winger has the opportunity to shorten the distance. Zichella changes the attack, putting Gueye and Spoto, finding a bit of further verve, as a good opportunity for Saccà, but at 62 ‘Lo Bosco, the opponent with a remarkable curriculum, achieves the same with a feat, surprising the defense . At that point the Derthona drops definitively, perhaps paying the speed of the first hour of play at a distance and almost suffers the third goal from Aperi. Overall, excellent ideas and potential, but at the moment something is missing from the race. excellent signals from the forwards, even with good changes in the second half, greater defensive attention to distance could perhaps have avoided the decline, but on the first day the mechanisms and the condition still have ample room to be oiled. –
