The playoff shot was about to hit the mark but Picerno managed to sabotage it in the 90 ‘. After the advantage of Franchini, in fact, Monterosi Tuscia suffers the 1-1 at the end and fails to hook the rossoblùs in ninth place in the standings.

Heavily conditioned by the wind, Rocchi’s match is broken up by continuous fouls and a not very fluid maneuver on both sides. The home team manages to be stronger even than the weather conditions and scores 1-0 but in the final they have to surrender to the marking of Di Dio, just entered and undisputed protagonist.

Menichini arrives at the playoff challenge without Artistico, Basit, Piroli, Tartaglia and Verde but as usual he doesn’t look for excuses and puts on the best eleven. Among the owners there is Adam but also Costantino, who at 27 ‘tries to make himself dangerous with a shot around at 27’ that ends out. On the other hand, Reginaldo leads the attack who tries to assert the experience but remains caged between the Lazio power stations for the entire arc of the first fraction. The 19th of the Lucanians looks out from Alia’s parts not before 46 ‘, when he takes advantage of a wrong stop by Parlati to go to the shot from the edge but ends in the middle.

Few occasions but also few changes, since the first arrives even at 75 ‘. To carry out it is the home team that inserts Caon for Ekuban to try to move the offensive maneuver and he succeeds, since at 78 ‘the young striker spits a cross from Adam’s head and favors the advantage of Parlati. The midfielder is good at reiterating on the net a ball soiled by the deviation of his partner and a short rebound by Viscovo. Colucci is not there, makes five substitutions in seven minutes and in the end finds the draw with the last one entered: the minute is 90 ‘and the author of the 1-1 is Di Dio, at the end of a confused action in to which Alia replies a first shot but can do nothing on the second.

Picerno celebrates while Monterosi Tuscia chews bitter. In terms of how she had put herself, these are two points lost but the fourth consecutive useful result, after three very heavy victories against Messina, Paganese and Campobasso, is still an excellent goal.
