Four goals for the green-and-whites in the trip to Scotland, but the defense is made of butter: yet another defeat
GLASGOW. And nothing. Not even this time. Not even scoring 4 tries. Other than nationals, doctors or fans, Benetton needs a shaman. Someone able to dispel a taboo, the one with the victories in Pro 14, sensationally at zero when the month of March (and, in fact, the tournament) is over. The Warriors win, almost with authority as the Lions put their effort into helping out.
It was the recovery of the eleventh round, not played in early January for Covid and in mid-February for the frozen field. On the synthetic, by the way. Two distinct objectives: one team to dream of the European cups (Glasgow), the other to win the first match (Treviso). The game is influenced by the strong wind that pushes the Scotstoun Stadium and will be a match with many goals scored by both teams.
In the first half, the Lions show an excellent maul – which had to be exploited much more – which leads to a goal by Lucchesi, but they suffer two scores that are authentic stabs by Lokutoi and Grigg. The yellow in Cannone also weighs, so much energy goes away and the first half ends 20-5 for the Warriors.
In the second half the green-and-whites shorten with Favretto, but then Glasgow hits the target through the scoring of Matawalu and Horne, finding the definitive break thanks to two open grasslands in the green-and-white defense. At 15 ‘from the end the attacks take over: Zanon and Els score, but the same, however, do the “Scottish” Ioane and Matthews. It ends 46-25 for the Scots, consolation prize for Treviso with the offensive bonus.
