Lazio buttoned and in 10 for 40 ‘. The rossoblù dominate but fail several occasions and hit a post with Scotto
SASSARI. The defense of Vis Artena does not jump, neither does the cap of the sparkling wine. End of the year without barrels for Torres, who in the recovery of the twelfth day of the D series collides with the barricades erected by the Lazio team. Ninety minutes to command the game, four clear chances built and a hit post are not enough for the rossoblù to snatch an absolutely deserved victory. For Greco’s team, which remains in second place with another race to recover, the opportunity fades to move to -6 from leaders Giugliano just over two weeks before the direct clash.
Instead, it goes luxury to Vis Artena, which still has 4 games to recover, but which presented itself in Sassari with a clear mission: to defend itself to the bitter end and try to break it down. So it was, with the buttoned approach of the first half which became pure obstruction from the 5 ‘of the second half, that is, after Negro was sent off for a double yellow card.
On the day when the obligation to wear FFP2 masks comes into force for the public, with the curve that chooses to stay silent, the scream of the goal remains strangled in the throat of the two thousand of the Aqueduct. Torres starts with the right attitude but Vis Artena covers herself well, grants the rossoblù only a free kick from 25 meters (Manni flies on Scotto’s shot) and responds with Di Vico, who forces Saved to a low exit. At 26 ‘the first big opportunity for the Sassari: cross from the left, Kujabi all alone from the edge of the small area sends an incredibly high header. Rossi pushes continuously on the right, Torres takes courage but never really manages to change pace, allowing two corners and a scrum to the Lazio, before seeing a nice right from Lisai darting near the post. The second half opens with the expulsion of Negro (foul on Diakite) and from now on there will be only one team on the pitch.
Scotto starts to take turns, Diakite eats a half-goal by hitting weakly with his head and then on 17 ‘calls Manni to instinctively intervene on a deviation in front of goal. Ruocco detects Kujabi and starts plowing the left wing, but it is from the right, on a cut cross by Lisai, that the best opportunity arrives: Scotto in diving hits his head, the ball nicks the inside pole to the right of Manni and crosses everything the mirror of the door before being pushed away. The pressure of the rossoblù becomes drumming, Diakite first hits the outside net in acrobatics, then comes into contact with Manni and ends up on the ground. It would also take a bit of luck, but it’s not really evening. It ends 0-0, and there is really something to eat.
