Varzi, a scream final Pizzini and Grasso overturn Pavia

Azzurri ahead at 15 ‘with Blazevic, the one-two of the home strikers reverses the match A penalty in recovery is decisive, for the grenades it is the fourth consecutive victory

VARZI

First Pizzini, then Grasso on a penalty. With a terrific ending, between 40 ‘and 46’ of the second half, Varzi overturns Pavia and wins the Chiappano derby. The Azzurri, better in the first half, find the advantage in the quarter of an hour with Blazevic, but after the interval they suffer the return of the grenades that change gear, spirit and above all men. The Loda-Catenacci duo revolutionizes Varzi in spirit and in men. For Varzi it is the fourth consecutive victory (Club Milano, Accademia, Base 96 and precisely Pavia): twelve points that serve to stay higher and higher and to reaffirm and realize the ambition of wanting to fight until the last for the great leap in Q The Fiorito branded Pavia (2 draws and 2 defeats), on the other hand, remains in the slums, in the middle of the play out area.

the tactical assets

Varzi plays with mourning on his arm to remember Guido Pagano, father of Mr. Alessandro Pagano, who passed away two days ago. Pagano does not sit on the bench, the team is led by the second coach, Tiberio Loda, and the technical director, Filippo Catenacci. Grenade without Fat in attack (he starts from the bench as he is recovering from the injury) and Rebuscini (suspended) in midfield: form 3-4-1-2. Pavia has defections in defense, where at the same time they have to give up the central Sakho and Marku, expelled in the match drawn (3-3) with Club Milano; space for two under, Di Bartolo (2001) and Galimberti (2003). Fiorito focuses on 3-5-2, with Ottonello in tow of the only striker Blazevic (Donadio is absent due to a feverish attack). Problems with the net of a goal and the derby starts with a quarter of an hour late. The first shot on goal is by the blue Moratti in the 8th minute, Murriero goes in. At 10 ‘Ottonello catches Calvi on the run, the young man enters the area and crosses tense, Blazevic does not get there for a while. It is Pavia that makes the game, Varzi of the throw-in. At 14 ‘insistent action by Pizzini on the left who enters the area but fails to shoot. At 15 ‘Pavia unlocks the derby: Moratti launches Blazevic all alone, the attacker awaits Murriero’s exit to put him in with a perfect low shot. At 21 ‘Varzi reacts with a cross from Ranzetti in front of goal, Pizzini does not arrive in time for the header. Ottonello (25 ‘) from outside the box with his left foot, Murriero saves on the ground. At 28 ‘Pavia touches the 2-0: Blazevic escapes, ball in the area for Moratti that ends on Murriero, then Calvi from outside with the left kicks a little on the bottom. At 40 ‘Gnaziri loses the ball at the exit, Ottonello tries the lob, Murriero is there. Varzi loses Orrico due to injury, enters the former June; 2 ‘recovery, he goes to rest. He leaves again. Double change in Varzi, in Lopane and Wagner. Immediately an episode in the Pavia area, with a push by De Bartolo against Citterio, but the referee who makes ample signs to continue. Then there is an alleged touch of the hand (outside the area?) Of Galimberti, even here we continue. Varzi started stronger. At 10 ‘right of Pizzini on the bottom. Grasso returns (from the injury), for Citterio (10 ‘). Varzi definitely redesigned in men. Rebolini on a free kick (18 ‘), on the bottom. At 29 ‘close header by Scarcella, on which comes a providential deviation in the corner. Varzi insists. Pavia defends itself. The race is however balanced, with decisive grenade supremacy. At 35 ‘contact in the Della Volpe-Grasso area, who remains on the ground and claims the penalty.

six thrilling minutes

By dint of insisting, Varzi finds the right opening to equalize. At 40 ‘nice cross from Lopane, Pizzini chest in the middle of the area corrects on the net. Varzi again. At 44 ‘punishment cut by Grasso directly into the goal, Boari flies to deflect over the crossbar. At 90 ‘the episode that decides the derby: the referee grants the penalty to Varzi for an intervention with Della Volpe’s hand on Crea’s cross, the same Grasso (penalty taker like Pizzini) transforms, displacing Boari. When there are 4 minutes of recovery, the Varzi completes the reversal. Grasso still complains of problems with his injured thigh and temporarily leaves the team of ten (all changes already made). Then he tries to return for the latest attacks, especially from Pavia, which pours forward but without getting anything. –
