The Ligurians beat Barceloneta 12-10, the Italian champions yield to Ferencvaros 14-12. Women’s Scudetto Final: Padua 2-1 against the Horizon
Six years of fasting is a long time, Pro Recco returns to show its hunger. After the defeat in the Scudetto final, the Ligurians hit the Champions League one: tomorrow, in Belgrade, it will be a super-challenge with Ferencvaros who mock a heroic Brescia. It is a trophy that Italy has escaped since 2015, when the Recchesi in Barcelona won 8-7 over the Croats of Primorje, isolating themselves at the top of the roll of honor with eight successes. Instead, the dream of another final of our own fades: in ’98 in Zagreb the Posillipo of Paolo De Crescenzo triumphed beating breaking latest news 8-6 (in the Final Four there were also the Croats of Mladost and the Russians of Volgograd). Bovo, now a Brescia coach, played with the Abruzzese.
WINNING OVERTAKE
—
In the first match, against the most brilliant team seen so far in the European season (an eloquent 22-9 in the quarterfinals with Olympiacos), the Recchesi suffer terribly at the start, they even go down by two goals (2-4, 5-7 ) and seem less responsive than rivals. Ivovic, Figlioli and Velotto are soon burdened with two fouls and it is not a good sign. But between the second and the third time comes the 4-0 break that overturns the match, thanks to a superb defense. At the end of the penultimate fraction, the most beautiful goal of the tournament is signed by Di Fulvio – dribbling on Munarriz and torpedo that surprises Lopez Pinedo – and is worth the 10-8 Recchese. Last 8 ‘throbbing, Perrone signs the -1, but the Pro Recco does not get distracted and flies up to 12-9, the maximum advantage. It closes among the poisons: at -18 ”, with the result now acquired, Hernandez calls a time out that the opponents consider disrespectful. Among the best in the field the Hallock and Aicardi centers, very generous like Bodegas, the blue of Barceloneta. Great poker for Mandic, in the city where he grew up with the Partizan cap.
HARD SHOTS
—
In the second semifinal, a thousand regrets for Brescia. Against Ferencvaros, beaten twice in the group stage in Budapest, the Lombards start very badly (0-4), leaving too much freedom for the immense Hungarian shooters, then crowning a long run up to Renzuto’s 8-8 in the third half. Back-and-forth, forbidden blows, you score especially with the extra man. At 3 ‘from the end, Renzuto comes out bleeding from an unsanctioned blow to the chin. On 12-12, at -21 “, Bicari is caught all alone in front of Del Lungo and signs the Magyar overtaking. Last action that also sees the Brescia goalkeeper in attack, but there is no luck for Vlachopoulos. With an empty net, then, the last goal is from Vamos.
