Gigantic PortoMansuè, Liventina gasps

Marchetti’s team is a roller: the defense does not pass a pin, this time it is Furlan and Tommasella (two) who stamp

/ MANSUÈ

One team was stronger than the other, and in fact that team has the best defense and attack in the league. After four matches, Portomansuè conceded only one goal and put in 13, more than four per game. An impressive roadmap that also crushed Liventina, who even at 1-0 risked equalizing a couple of times. It did not succeed and then the hosts became beasts, pressing and creating opportunities. They had a lot of it and it was just a mix between the imprecision of some launches and some Lorello saves that didn’t weigh down the result. Liventina appeared concentrated perhaps with the only exception of the 2-0 goal, when the defense did not shorten on a lineout. With any other team it would be something forgivable, but not with Portomansuè. This is the impression with which the whole stadium has returned home, after having seen a game that is all in all nice but certainly not exciting.

Porto was stronger and it proved it. With each passing week it becomes easier and easier to put the hosts among those who aspire to Serie D with some reason. The first real litmus test arrived yesterday, and the hosts passed it in all respects. On the Liventina front there will certainly have been a bit of disappointment, but the guests also certainly knew that they had played the best possible match. If a little more luck had put at least one of the balls he had on Dordit’s head in the first half, the story would probably have been different.

The goal that unlocked the game arrived after a quarter of an hour of play. He put it in Furlan, who thus confirmed himself as the best scorer of Portomansuè (by the way, what last Sunday seemed a precautionary change was instead providential: for Urbanetto a rupture of the collateral ligament of the right knee is suspected). It was Furlan who turned from just outside the box and put her in like lightning, also taking advantage of the deflection of a defender who mocked his goalkeeper at the near post. The first half ended with some actions by Liventina, who occasionally interrupted the midfield game to break through the lines: it was in these minutes that Dordit found himself between his feet and on his head two good balls, which came out a little.

The second half changed the music, and Claudio Tomasella took the scene. It was he who took advantage of a big defensive mistake by Liventina, who on a line-out extended by a defender’s head did not go to close in the area leaving the 19-year-old striker to go in front of the goalkeeper to drive her under seven. Ten minutes had passed and after another twenty came the shotgun, this time with a shot from outside that was stuffed into the corner, sweet and impregnable. For the Mottensi there is still work to be done. –
