Villa Galaxy 3-2 USO GALAXY

The third day of Group 5 ends on a warm Tuesday evening in October with the first official "galactic" derby. The game is played in Concesio and both teams need a win: the hosts need a victory to move up the standings that still see them pinned at 0 points (defeated by Ospitaletto and S.Giovanni), while for Valenza's boys the three points would guarantee to stay in the slipstream of the small group already in the sprint after 150'.

Compared to the win with Real S.Rocco, the Galaxy took the field with two changes: Crea and Lamberti for Romeo and Mazzetti M. respectively. Otherwise all confirmed.

The long and narrow field is not congenial to the characteristics of the Giallorossi, used to much wider spaces to build maneuver.

The first few minutes are locked, with both teams careful not to uncover themselves. Bertolini tried from the left, but his volleyed conclusion did not hit the goal mirror. In minute 9 the partial changes: the hosts take the lead thanks to a counterattack exploited to the fullest. The broken balance unequivocally shifts the ball of the game into the hands of the guests, leaving the Swans with opportunities to restart. The Giallorossi, however, are not precise and never manage to really trouble the opponent's goalkeeper, also accomplice to a miserable evening for the MVP of the last match Boccuti, author of a shadowy game characterized by two glaring errors under goal that could have been worth the momentary equalizer. The first fraction does not give further thrills and the teams go to rest on 1-0. On the return to the field, Valenza plays the Mazzetti card in place of a not very incisive Lamberti and shortly after Romeo in place of Crea, trying to have a more dynamic solution from the bottom, but once again to be rewarded are the hosts, able to take advantage of one too many dribbles of Magri close to the opponent's area that then paves the way for the lethal counterattack that is worth the 2-0. Bregoli made his league debut by taking over from Bertolini. The Swans played calmly, buoyed by the double lead and the low incisiveness of the Giallorossi. A goal, however, would change everything, reshuffling the cards and especially the inertia of the match. Boccuti has the good ball, just to push into the net, but it's not night. Valenza throws Lamberti back into the fray in place of the Calabrian-French oriundo himself. With still half the second half to play, the Giallorossi found the goal that halved the disadvantage, thanks to Lamberti's first goal in a Galaxy jersey, skillful and shrewd in scoring from a few steps a ball left vacant inside the opponent's box. The inertia shifts and the hosts feel the pressure and the host push, but they remain orderly and compact. The Giallorossi try, but rarely come up with a clean finish. As we have all too often been accustomed to seeing in recent years, at the moment when the favorable event seems to be propitious here comes the inexorable mockery that ends it all: in the 45th minute the biancorosa find the third goal, once again taking advantage of a Giallorossi inaccuracy. There would still be time to try the feat, and for that it must be given credit to Valenza's men for not giving up until the end, but Bregoli's goal came too late, making their efforts in vain. For the Villa Galaxy it is the first historic victory in the Serie A. For the USO Galaxy comes the second defeat in as many away matches.

It's back home on Saturday for the game against ATL Paint. No mistakes.
