Playoff final, Gesteco conquers race 5: with a success it will be A2 and challenge to the APU

BERGAMO. The Ueb Gesteco Cividale is one step away from the A2. In fact, the ducal dreams do not break in Vigevano: the formation of coach Pillastrini manages to conquer a very hot PalaBasletta at 56-70 and now the derby with Apu Udine is close. The verdict is up to game-5 which will be played on Wednesday, at 20, at PalaGesteco.

Quintets unchanged for the start. Peroni is immediately hot from the arc and signs the 3-0, on the other side the Ueb is in difficulty and it takes almost 4 ‘to find the first 2 points that are scored by Rota. Then, however, the ducals get into gear, and after some back and forth with 5 consecutive points from Cassese, the period ends at 9-14. A partial low that shows how much both teams are a bit contracted given the stakes.

Upon returning to the field, however, Ueb wants to try to give the challenge a push and they succeed: with a super Ohenhen (7 points for him in the first 20 ‘) and a good round of the ball that allowed clean and more precise conclusions, here that you go to the locker room on 27-42. Captain Chiera and his companions deserve the result for the game demonstrated so far, but pay attention to the men of coach Piazza because the game is still long.

And in fact in the third fraction it is Vigevano who leads: with a partial of 17-6 you go to 10 ‘from the end at 44-48 and the race is far from closed. The eagles had the opportunity to play with more peace of mind, but too many mistakes were made.

To decide whether the series will be tied is the last quarter, in which the Cividaleese have managed to express their game in the best possible way without mentally succumbing to the pressure of Vigevano.

The hosts with Peroni get closer up to 47-53, but then also for them a blackout arrives that costs dearly: Cividale with a partial 22-12 wins game-4 and brings the home factor back in favor.

Now calm and cool because, unlike last, everything will be played in the fort with the support of the yellow tide.
