Varzi with the heart, fold the Verbano and stay on top

In the first 45 ‘question and answer between Pizzini and Okaingni, 2-1 by Grasso, Crea closes it with the grenade in 10 (red to Murriero)

VARZI. Incredible at Chiappano, where Varzi, in ten from 19 ‘of the second half for the red to Murriero, ahead 2-1, has the strength to attack again and to close the match at 3-1, thanks to the sharp of Crea entered by little (his also the assist for the 2-1 from Grasso). The score does not mislead. We saw a young and tough Verbano. Varzi, ahead with Pizzini, did not have an easy life at all. The grenades lost in the same action Scarcella due to injury (a strain is feared) and the goalkeeper Murriero, sent off for protests (first yellow card and then direct red for him). Sunday the derby at Parisi with Voghe, where Varzi always arrives as leaders, even if hand in hand with Castanese but without two key elements.

The match

On an assist from Grasso (7 ‘), Pizzini engages Palazzi in two halves with the left. At 25 ‘Barranco blatantly jumps with his elbow high and then seems to hit hard with a punch Scarcella who falls and remains on the ground for a few minutes. The referee opts “only” for yellow. It is always Pizzini who tries (33 ‘and 39’) but with no luck. At 42 ‘sensational crossbar hit by Grasso with a left from distance. At 44 ‘Varzi passes: Gnaziri opens to Monopoli who enters the area, looks up and crosses perfect at the near post where Pizzini anticipates everyone in a crash. Not even the time to rejoice that at 45 ‘Verbano equalized with Okaingni, quick to retort on the net a rejected by Murriero. The first half ends with a free kick by Rebuscini and rejected by the barrier positioned not at a safe distance.

Recovery. At 2 ‘Barranco gives the grenade defense the shivers, with a left inside the area that just comes out on the bottom. At 9 ‘Grasso enters the area and kicks with his right, Palazzi stretches out and says no. At 13 ‘Murriero makes a miraculous exit with his feet saving on Galli. Then Varzi goes down and returns to the advantage (15 ‘). Action elaborated inside the area, then shot-cross by the newly entered Crea on which Grasso slips the 2-1. At 19 ‘Scarcella gets hurt. Murriero helps him out of the area. The change is prepared. Murriero tells the referee that he will be the one to resume the game but is warned, then incredulous he lets himself go to a comment and is sent off. Scarcella does not make it and Calloni enters his place (debut). Grasso is the sacrificed to take over Masotino between the posts. At 33 ‘full crossbar of Verbano with Malvestio, Masotino on the falling ball makes a great rebound. Then it is repeated with an instinctive rejected in the 37th minute following a close header from Fogal. The Varzi, even in 10, has the strength to sink the blows finding the 3-1 at 39 ‘with Crea who kicks in the area right at the far post where Palazzi can not get there. At 45 ‘Masotino again who with the body on the ground rejects a shot by Barranco from inside the area. Five of recovery. Verbano tries but there is no more history.
