Realvalle GSTL 4-5 USO GALAXY

Ninety-six hours after the painful defeat to OM Zanardini, the Giallorossi return to the field, guests of Realvalle GSTL. The two teams are looking for redemption, both coming off defeats from the last round.

Mazzetti is the last-minute forfeit: instrumental tests at GalaxyLab showed a strain in the groin area. Number 19 will have to sit out for at least a couple of weeks. Bertolini also does not recover Simone Gazzoli due to a seasonal ailment, but he does find back a very tanned Francesco Bregoli returning from vacation, and there are finally renewed hopes of an upcoming return for Belotti (out since Day 3).

The starting 7 consists of Vitali; Romeo; Fioretti, Magri, Zammarchi, Eddiraoui; Bergamaschi (a disp. Crea, Bregoli F., Bregoli D., Gazzoli N., Boccuti).

The study phase is broken on the fifth lap of the lancets and the hosts take the lead. Four minutes later Eddiraoui clearly anticipates the direct opponent and closing a double exchange serves Bergamaschi for the easiest of tap-ins. Masterful action and 1-1. Making the play are the Galaxy, strong with numerical and technical supremacy in the midfield. In the 12th minute, the Giallorossi twice go close to the lead, but aerial strikes by first Bergamaschi and then Magri both hit the post. In the 17th minute, Zammarchi earned an excellent free kick on which captain Magri headed in to seal the Magica Armata's well-deserved lead.

From the ensuing kickoff Bergamaschi was very clever in directing the pressing and eradicating the ball to the last man before slotting it in one-on-one with the goalkeeper: 1-3!

At the Galaxy's moment of maximum pressure, Realvalle finds a penalty kick for an unstable intervention by Romeo, forced to foul after a saretina restart directly from a throw-in. Vitali overcomes himself by hypnotizing the attacker, the ball remains in play and the Galaxy are unable to stem the orange pressure that turns into the 2-3 a minute later. The first half yielded no further thrills and at rest the Galaxy found themselves with a one-goal lead.

Just enough time to resettle on the field and Bergamaschi signed his personal hat trick with a splendid solo effort, ending with a missile at the first post after turning at the edge of the area. Fioretti struggled to push (fatigue was feared) and Bertolini fished Nicola Gazzoli off the bench, deflecting Bergamaschi himself on the right out. The newcomer takes little time to get into the game and makes the most of Zammarchi's perfect assist: 2-5!

The saretini struggle to find the square and the field gives reason to what the Galaxy proposed. Again Nicola Gazzoli goes close to the net, but the post again chokes in the throat the scream of joy. The Giallorossi do not particularly suffer from the hosts' attacks and Vitali turns out to be almost inoperative. Fatigue began to take over and Bertolini opted for cover, choosing Francesco Bregoli in place of an exhausted Eddiraoui.

In the 44th minute, the Orangeers shortened, finding the net on a rebound in the center of the box. The crowd began to push the hosts, and the Galaxy's mental effort grew heavier. Three minutes later the saretini made it 4-5 with a conclusion from the distance deflected fatally by Francesco Bregoli. Crea took the place of a highly applauded Bergamaschi, switching to a more conservative 2-3-1 with Zammarchi on the right. The Galaxy are pressed steadily in the popria half of the field, but the golden opportunity happens at the feet of Zammarchi, but his insertion ends in nothing. In the last minute of stoppage time, Real found a gap in the center of the small area and the conclusion was on the line, but Vitali overcame it in the opposite time and the Galaxy breathed a (huge) sigh of relief. For the match director there is no more time and with the triple whistle ends the fasting of points of the Giallorossi, very good at finding again compactness, willingness to sacrifice and that healthy fear that can lead to victory.

The weekly program, however, is not over yet: on Friday, 18 at Long Street Park (8:30 p.m.) there is the recovery of the 6th day against Pol.Com.Ome. One goal...
