LIGNANO SABBIADORO. Pordenone in the abyss. It is only the seventh day of the championship, but the alarm rings incessantly: at Teghil also Vicenza finds an easy life, presented in Lignano without even a point to the credit in the previous six games: the red and white win and overtake, the neroverdi remain alone at the ‘last place in the standings, while the other direct rivals – see Alessandria and Como – are starting to take off. Already desperate situation for Rastelli’s team, which starts very badly and comes back two goals to the berici, but then yields again, showing heart yes, but very little quality in attack, no play in midfield and a defensive department constantly under pressure and in difficulty.
Only two innovations in formation for Rastelli compared to the Monza race: among the four defense Barison returns in place of Sabbione, while Zammarini finds his place in the mezzala with Misuraca’s UCITA, bruised by the last hour, while on the trocar there is Folorunsho behind the Cambiaghi-Tsadjout couple. Not Sylla, then, as it seemed it should be. In Brocchi’s eleven the bugbear is naturally the former Diaw, still looking for the first center with the “Lane” shirt.
Ready away and here are two dubious episodes: first Folorunsho falls in the Vicenza area and instead of the penalty he demands (you see a galley slap) he remedies the yellow by simulation. Then Diaw runs away on a throw from the rear, El Kaouakibi keeps him for the shirt in the area, for the referee everything is ok. Pordenone is determined to hit the first victory and at 8 ‘creates the first important opportunity: Cambiaghi finds space on the left and crosses, Padella involuntarily touches and provides an assist for Folorunsho, who on the back line, on the opposite side, touches the fly but hit the outer pole. On the other hand, a timely intervention by El Kaouakibi mura Proia, freed well by an assist from Diaw.
The maneuver of the neroverdi lives above all on personal initiatives, like that of Cambiaghi who exploits a spike from Tsadjout in his half and flies towards the opponent’s goal, but is shy in the conclusion. Not that Vicenza do much more, but in the half hour they are kissed by fate, because on the cross from the right of Di Pardo the local rearguard folds back late, El Kaouakibi smooths out and Magnino involuntarily deflects the ball towards the very solitary Samuele Longo, who thanks and beats Perisan from two steps.
As if the blow were not enough, the neroverdi in the final minutes also cashed the 0-2: high school number of Diaw, very good at unmarking Di Pardo with a flying heel, control and left-footed lap for Perisan. But just before the break, Pordenone managed to get back in the running thanks to a Magnino shot that Diaw barely spikes, but did not push away and Camporese, well positioned, headed for Grandi.
In the second half Rastelli shows up with Mensah and Valietti on the pitch in place of El Kaouakibi and Folorunsho. And it is precisely the former Triestina striker, dusted off after three consecutive matches in the stands by technical choice, to propitiate the equalizer with a forceful penetration on the right against Ranocchia and a good assist for Magnino, who finds the rejection of Grandi, Cambiaghi arrives and bags his first center in Serie B.
The problem is that after the equalizer goal, only Vicenza seems to believe in the victory: Ranocchia, Diaw and Dal Monte go close to doubling twice, until, at 35 ‘, the Var gives its first displeasure to the Pordenone, assigning a penalty for a touch (very light to tell the truth) in Barison’s area on that old fox from Meggiorini, recently entered for Longo. From the spot the same former Chievo displaces Perisan. Sylla, a substitute in the final of Cambiaghi, tries twice, but in the final it is all too easy for Vicenza, who find the 4-2 with Taugourdeau, with an empty net after a general sleep of the neroverde defense, and find the first , very precious points in the championship. Total disaster for Pordenone, which arrives at the stop with very black thoughts.
