Excellence. The grenades in the second knockout keep only one point on Alcione and Club Milano who have more games to play
VARZI
End of dreams, even if mathematics still offers some glimmers. The Varzi, after the mockery with the Milan Club, collapses in front of a Codogno who has sold his life dearly despite having nothing more to ask from the championship. Codogno which proves to be a sort of black beast of the grenades, because already in the 2017-2018 championship, in the final play off to rise from the Promotion to Excellence, he had the better of the Varese people, winning at home (2-0) and drawing 0 -0 to Chiappano.
Varzi still remains leaders, but with two days to go and with only one match to play (the one in Sant’Angelo Lodigiano on Sunday 13 June, after next Sunday’s rest session), his fate depends on the pursuers who must play respectively. two games (Club Milano, second with 16 points) and three (Alcione (second with 16 points as well as Sant’Angelo, third at 14).
Rebecchi deceives
A defeat, that of yesterday, mentally “daughter” of last Sunday’s thud with Club Milano, which arrived in the 97th minute. The grenades, after a more host brand start, take over the reins of the game and set up bargains after bargains. The first difficult task remains to break the 0-0. Instead, while creating a lot, the grenades do not pass. Codogno becomes dangerous only once (3 ‘), when Murriero says no while diving to a great shot from inside the Gazzola area. Then it’s a grenade monologue, with Cioffi foiling everything and when he doesn’t get there, the defenders (in particular Giavardi) think about saving at the last minute. At 2 ‘Di Placido headed almost face to face concludes on the goalkeeper, At 9’ Zanellati kicks with the right shot without fail, at 13 ‘Rebuscini touches the post, then the saves on Zanellati and Cantiello. In short, a lot of Varzi, but no goals. Network that instead arrives at 12 ‘of the second half, when Zanellati gets the penalty: from the spot Rebecchi, while making himself guess the trajectory, marks and deservedly leads the grenade forward.
Black out granata
At that point, or in the best moment of Varzi, the incredible happens. Codogno is not there and starts to push again and in 3 ‘the limelight. At 21 ‘Rantier evades the offside, presents himself in front of Murriero, avoids him and lays on the net. At 24 ‘Mastrototaro invents a right turn that fully captures the intersection of the posts to the left of Murriero. Varzi turns off the light. The psychological backlash is too strong and Codogno finds space again with the newly entered Zamble to hurt to the end. Di Placido’s head network with time-out only makes the pill less bitter. Too bad, really, that the grenade fable has to end like this. Especially on the day when the audience met again at Chiappano. There were all 100 fans who, according to the provisions, could enter and sit in the stands. –
