First emotion at 13 ‘with a drunken descent of Scala who exchanges at the edge of the area with Gambino but the return pass is not precise and the action fades. Before 20 ‘Masini first tries, weak and off target from the limit, and then Jeantet who calls Dani to the easy save. Shortly after the half hour Jeantet steals the ball on the trocar and rushes into the area but his conclusion is soiled by a defender’s intervention at the last minute. Signs of awakening of the hosts at the beginning of the second half with an under-sized header by De Bode rebounded by a defender but the Aosta Valley soon took over the situation and at 7 ‘Jeantet flies to the right and puts in the middle where no teammate is ready for the decisive tap-in.

The story repeats itself in the 40th minute following a wrong pass by Dani on which Sterrantino bursts and sees his conclusion diverted for a corner by Malandrino. But on the developments of football from the flag, Sterrantino himself breaks into a split on Maffezzoli’s cross from the left, signing the match goal. Imperia forward to the fray in the last minutes: Giglio in recovery has a good chance but is contracted by Balzo at the time of the shot from a short distance and for the orange the doors open towards a desired and deserved victory. –
