The whites violate the Modena field thanks to the brace made by a wild Udoh. Now the playoffs are closer
MODENA. Super feat from Olbia, who won Braglia and beat leaders Modena 2-1 thanks to Udoh’s brace. Three very important points for morale and classification, with the Sardinian team rising to 35 points and returning to success over a month after the last time (it was January 23, Olbia-Lucchese 1-0).
The result achieved in Emilia allows Max Canzi’s boys to get closer to the goal of salvation and in the white house even dreaming of something more is by no means forbidden. For the Gialloblù hosts yesterday afternoon’s knockout represents a bad misstep, to be cleared as quickly as possible.
Attilio Tesser’s Modena line-up announced on the eve: Gagno in goal, Ciofani, captain Pergreffi, Piacentini and Azzi in defense, Gerli director with Scarsella and Armellino at his side, Tremolada and Minesso quarterbacks behind the only striker and great ex Ogunseye. Max Canzi’s Olbia responded with Ciocci between the posts, a defensive line composed of Brignani, Pisano and Emerson, Arboleda, La Rosa, Lella and Travaglini in the middle of the field and finally Biancu in support of Ragatzu and Udoh.
The match begins on the edge of balance, with both teams trying to do it with long-range shots. The first is Tremolada, whose attempt ends on the side.
The guests respond with Ragatzu, who concludes by finding Gagno’s careful and easy grip. The pace is still low and with few emotions: Modena attacks, but Olbia defends itself with order.
The hosts try their luck first with Scarsella’s high header and then with Tremolada’s side shot on Azzi’s assist. At 37 ‘Olbia responds with Udoh’s turn, to do the dress rehearsal for what will happen a few minutes later. At 38 ‘Ciocci on Ciofani is decisive, a fundamental intervention that then allows the Sardinians to take the lead on 42’ with the personal action of Udoh who is good at sowing panic in the defense of Modena and beating Gagno.
Olbia is not satisfied and hits in the recovery of the first half, once again with the striker number nine. One-two deadly of Canzi’s men, who thus conclude the first fraction with an advantage of two goals against the Modenese.
In the interval the canaries immediately make three changes, looking for a comeback.
At the beginning of the second half, Ciocci was immediately decisive on Ciofani’s attempt. Modena attacks with his head down and in the 54th minute shortens the distance with Ciofani himself reiterating the goal in the scrum.
The goal rekindles Braglia, which pushes the Gialloblù towards the sensational turnaround. Tesser’s formation tries in every way, with Ciocci once again protagonist on Longo’s sure-fire header. Olbia keeps calm and resists Modena’s last attempts, taking home three heavy points.
In the end it is therefore a great celebration for the whites and above all for the four Sardinian fans who arrived in Emilia, thanked by the team at the end of the match.
