The Sassari team overcomes the Cassino and takes a decisive step towards salvation Some fears in the final for the score in the balance, then a party under the empty curve
SASSARII. Three points had to be and three points have arrived. Many hopes of salvation for Torres passed through this home match with the quiet Cassino, who arrived at the “Sanna” filled with very young people (eleven millennials between the field and the bench) and with only 5 reserves, to testify his state of calm for an already archived championship without infamy and without praise. Failing the success could cost dearly to the Sassari team, lined up by Giorico with various innovations, from the return in the poles of the expert Frasca to the pair of defensive centers formed by Riccardo Pinna and Vavassori. In midfield the young Claudio Fadda and Mascia’s (winning) return after the injury. There is also Origlio, recovered after the bad blow remedied in the Sassari derby that had made him end up in hospital. It is a dynamic formation, which encourages you to believe in a lively race to attack the only useful result, the victory, but at the start the tone is soft. Cassino has no interest in pushing and uncovering, the responsibilities of playing and dictating the times are all of Torres who does not stand out for the agonistic fury of the unsafe fighting for survival but slips some good opportunities. At 4 ‘Melli ends wide on the assist of La Vigna, at 12’ the inviting cross from Melli (very active on the band of his competence) is directed on the head of Cristaldi, who under-measure sends to the side. At 25 ‘on corner action Pinna stands out, a little high, and the rossoblù defender repeats himself shortly after, again on a corner and still imprecise pumpkin. Torres struggles in the construction phase and lacks clarity in the opposing area, but remains projected forward and at 27 ‘Della Pietra with a great intervention denies Prosi the goal from a free-kick. The same midfielder tries at 41 ‘from a distance, earning only yet another corner. Prosi is also the protagonist at 4 ‘of the second half, again on a free kick that Della Pietra replies and Mascia does not take advantage of the opportunity, kicking on the outside of the net. Time passes, the result is not released and a little anxiety emerges because the Sassari pressure is constant but it is also sterile and confused. At 21 ‘the fear of not making it evaporates thanks to the 2002 Claudio Fadda and Filippo Mascia, one invents and the other realizes by coming out in front of the goalkeeper and bagging with his head. The advantage gives wings to the home team who shortly afterwards double, on the launch of Prosi Mastromarino wedges in the area and is put down without much compliments: it is a penalty, which Cristaldi transforms into 2-0. The match seems over but it’s not like that, Torres relaxes too soon and Vitiello first threatens (high shot at 37 ‘) and then hits, at 42’, with a stubborn personal action. The usual final fears for the score in the balance, then it’s a party under the curve, always sadly empty.
