Pordenone imitates Udinese: goal after two minutes and another knockout

Like the bianconeri in Verona, neroverdi immediately below the Cittadella. If goodwill is useful, relegation seems inevitable

Bruno Oliveti / LIGNANO

Again him: exactly as one year ago (it was February 13, 2021) Giacomo Beretta decides Pordenone-Cittadella in the first few minutes. And the neroverde team, like Udinese in Verona, immediately goes under, does not get up and remedies another knockout. Except that in this case the defeat, albeit more “mild” compared to the poker remedied by the bianconeri, is number 15 in 23 games, the last place does not come undone – again alone, Vicenza at plus 1, reached in Pisa on the 2-2 – and the specter of relegation is increasingly around the corner.

“Pordenone loses in a different way compared to the games at the beginning of the season”, comments the commentator from Dazn. But he loses, and continues to do so. Too bad, because the team really has a different face than the unwatchable one of Paci first and then Rastelli. He plays, fights, doesn’t mind. But he doesn’t throw her in, and at least one fatal distraction always grants it.

Turnover necessary given the repeated commitments and Tedino changes five compared to Saturday’s match in Parma. Barison returns to the center of defense, with the captain’s armband, and makes his absolute debut in neroverde Anastasio as a left-handed winger. The midfield is completely new with Zammarini, Torrasi and Deli (making his debut from 1 ‘) and Pellegrini in attack alongside Butic.

Aggressive, interesting hosts, it’s a pity that the inevitable defensive blunder this time arrives at the dawn of the match: and at the first offensive transition of the opponents it is already 0-1. It is 3 ‘, Pellegrini is passed by a cross for Cassandro who breaks through on the right wing and puts in the middle, in the small area. Perisan is cut out at the near post, Barison fails to intervene and neither does Andreoni, the ball actually hits Beretta and ends up in the bag.

The reaction lies in a percussion by Butic, with a cross shot neutralized by Kastrati. But shortly after Beretta goes a step away from doubling, always served in depth by Cassandro. In this case Perisan saves his foot. Settled slowly in defense, Pordenone begins to grind the game and Cambiaghi with his speed creates headaches for the guest rearguard. In particular at 36 ‘, when he is spread out at 16 meters by Frare, who remedies the yellow. Anastasio kicks the set on the barrier, Deli catches it but does not find the door. Shortly after Pellegrini takes advantage of a long ball from Barison and kicks first intention, the ball just over the crossbar. Proactive Ramarri, but as usual not very incisive, and for the Cittadella it is not difficult to administer the advantage.

Neroverdi chasing a draw in the second half, with Vokic replacing Deli and Di Serio for Pellegrini, but the best offensive actions arrive on the Cambiaghi-Anastasio axis. Then in the quarter of an hour Lovisa enters for Andreoni and as soon as he sets foot on the pitch he needs the 1-1 assist, too bad that his poisonous cross from the left crosses the small area without anyone being able to intervene. Even more than him creates havoc Tavernelli on the opposite bank: he enters for Okwonkwo and in two minutes he has two chances to double. Pordenone does not give up, tries, various on both fronts, without however being able to materialize, even if in the final it goes close to par with a placed by Lovisa, deflected and slightly out, therefore with Sylla, on the cross still of number 5, header shot back.

Nothing to do, therefore. We will try again on Saturday in Reggio Calabria. However, time passes and the salvation mission becomes harder and harder: unfortunately, good performances are not enough. –
