OLBIA
Undeserved home defeat for Olbia who leaves the entire stake at Cesena in an unprecedented challenge between the two teams. Despite being in a largely reworked formation, the team from Olbia kept up with the opponent, indeed coming close to scoring several times, failing to do so due to bad luck (crossbar and miracle of the opposing goalkeeper). In the end, the cold shower came for a team that would certainly have deserved at least one point.
In Olbia, La Rosa absent due to disqualification and with Giandonato and Biancu on the bench but at half service, the coach Max Canzi presents in front of Ciocci, the defensive line composed of Arboleda, Brignani, Emerson and Travaglini, in midfield Lella, Chierico and Palesi, with Ragatzu behind Udoh and Mancini.
It is Cesena to create the first headaches for the opposing rearguard with Bortolussi trying to fly a conclusion that ends on the side. At 9 ‘Ciocci is good at rejecting a poisonous free-kick from Nicola Rigoni for a corner. At this point Olbia comes out at a distance and on 18 ‘, the Juventus defense trembles: Ragatzu manages to put a dangerous ball back in the center which is rejected for a corner by an opponent: on the next corner Brignani with his head makes the supporters shout for a goal. home, but Nardi, thanks also to the crossbar, is saved. Olbia continues to press and at 33 ‘and 35’ is not too lucky with Ragatzu (Nardi in the corner) and Emerson (high free kick). At 38 ‘, Rigoni’s free-kick was deflected for a corner by Travaglini, while at 44’ the last chance of the first fraction was for Olbia with Lella’s blow and Nardi’s parade.
In the second half, at 6 ‘second big goal hit the hosts: Brignani’s cross for Udoh who sent the ball high over the crossbar under goal. At 10 ‘still Brignani in evidence, but this time when he rejects the shot of Bortolussi. The positive day of the number 13 in the white jersey ends just before half an hour when the referee extracts the second yellow card and consequently the red one, sending him prematurely to take a shower. Despite the less man, Olbia holds well and at 42 ‘has a good chance with Occhioni, but his header does not find the mirror of the goal. The referee indicates 5 minutes of recovery (which become six) and right in the first minute the parity of players on the field is restored because Lepri gets hurt and cannot be replaced, given that Cesena has already made the five changes. But at 49 ‘comes the winning goal of the Romagna thanks to a heel strike by Caturano, a goal much contested by Olbia for the alleged irregular position of the match-winner.
