LIGNANO. Pordenone’s third Serie B championship starts badly. Paci’s men were defeated at home in Lignano by the freshman Perugia who needed a goal at the last moment of the first part of the game.
The attempts of the Friulians to recover in the second half were in vain, either because of the imprecision of the neroverdi attackers, or because of bad luck with even a hit wood.
In front of a rediscovered audience of at least a thousand spectators, who entered strictly the Teghil stadium with a green pass and wearing a mask and also with about fifty fans from Umbria, for a return to semi-normality in the stadiums that can only please , Pordenone starts well, plays, presses in front with the couple Tasadjout and Folorunsho, but ended little.
Zammarini wastes a good opportunity in the 28th minute, the great former Burrai (much applauded in the second half when he was recalled to the bench) on the other side splinters the crossbar, Cambiaghi at the end of the first half engages the Perugia goalkeeper Chichizola with a shot from outside, but then the cold shower arrives in the second of two minutes of recovery when on a free kick from the usual Burrai, Murano, on the edge of offside, beats Perisan.
Pordenone starts again in the second half attacking with his head down, Mr. Paci doesn’t change anything at the beginning, then he puts in the field the two aces from the bench, Ciciretti and also the last arrived Petriccione.
After 11 minutes Tsadjout does everything well, but the Perugian Dall’Orco saves his goalkeeper on the line, then a shot by Cambiaghi engages Chichizola, then with 16 ‘from the end another Folorunsho post arrives after a lashing on a free kick.
The green-and-blacks give everything, but they expose themselves to Perugia’s counterattacks: Lisi devours a goal, Biancamano a few minutes later also, so he saves all the neroverde Perisan goalkeeper on Lisi 6 minutes from ninetieth.
Perugia also has time to remain even in ten for the expulsion of the young Kouan for a double yellow card.
But the Grifo holds up the assaults of the not very lucid neroverdi up front despite the entry of the playmaker Ciciretti and also of Butic. Nothing to do, defeat against the newly promoted and uphill start.
And next Sunday a not easy trip to Ferrara. You will need to score goals, first of all: otherwise playing, even well, is useless.
