It ends goalless Modica Calcio’s first match of 2024. In Milazzo it is the two defenses that show their muscles. Already in the first leg the team coached by Venuto had proven to be a tough nut to crack, with the rossoblu managing to gain three points with the result 1-0, this time both goals remained unchanged with some regret for the guests.
The first half, in fact, sees Modica in full possession of the match, Strano’s team holds the field well and proves superior in the singles that try to change the score but don’t find the right spark and a small dose of luck that would be enough to carry on the County formation, especially with that post that Palermo will hardly forget in the next few days, a ball that hits the post to the right of Quartarone shot from the center of the area and which made the whole stadium breathe a sigh of relief. At the end the two teams were left with 10 men due to the expulsions of Cacciola for Modica and the captain of Milazzo, Leo.
In the second half defenses still protagonists on the pitch, the attacks are unable to break through the walls, with Strano also trying with the entry of Famà but that’s not enough. It should be noted that play stopped in this second half due to an injury to the referee who had to grit his teeth to be able to close the match in the best possible way. The fragmented game does not help to find a square on the pitch and the scoring opportunities tend to be less and less frequent. A Modica that proves to be a team and to have a cohesive group, also comes close to scoring a goal at the end of the match with a moving penalty which, however, does not find the rossoblu attacker ready to hurt the home team, also worth mentioning is a Milazzo crossbar in the previous action.
A Modica that demonstrates its ability to be a team on a difficult pitch like that of Milazzo, the group improves and demonstrates it on the pitch, despite not managing to score the winning goal. Now it’s time to think about the next challenges with the same attitude, the results will be a mere consequence of what we demonstrated with the ball at our feet.
