Seventh victory in the last eight matches: 22 points in the farmhouse out of 24. And the top, in tandem with Campodarsego, is confirmed. As well as the external unbeaten record: the SSD Dolomiti Bellunesi transforms Lombardy into a land of conquest and, after having violated the fields of Brusaporto and Real Calepina, even overcomes a very tough nut like the Caravaggio. Very tough, also due to the way the match developed, with the disadvantage arriving coldly. An unpleasant déjà vu, linked to the big match of the “Gabbiano”, but which Zanini’s boys managed to remedy thanks to Tiozzo’s goals. And a wild Thomas Cossalter: captain for a day and scorer of a brace.
ABSENCES – Yet absences abound: Parlato (who only entered at the end of the match), De Paoli and Tardivo are joined by the withdrawal of Pablo Perez. Consequently, compared to last week’s face-to-face match against Montecchio Maggiore, Tiozzo regains his place in the starting eleven and Fagan, in midfield, finds a starting shirt.
REMAKE – It seems like a remake of the Campodarsego challenge: ready, go. And the road is already uphill. Not even a minute passes (to be precise, 40 seconds) and Rainero, taking advantage of an error in evaluation by the Dolomite rearguard on a treacherous rebound, enters the area and pierces Carraro to make it 1-0 for Lombardy. A problem? No, because Tiozzo chose a good moment to score his first goal with SSD Dolomiti Bellunesi: in the 12th minute, the central defender from Chioggia took advantage of a shot from the flag, shot by Marangon, and turned with his right foot towards the goal. The Bergamo goalkeeper touches, but is unable to avoid the 1-1. Marangon, moreover, is very inspired: he throws Cossalter deep (diagonal just outside), bowls for Capacchione (sensational crossbar, with a nice header). And he gets the penalty for the lead: from the spot, Cossalter puts the ball into the corner.
ON ICE – In the second half, the Dolomites continued to press the accelerator. But Pennesi, the home number 1, gets excited and is decisive in three circumstances: on Olonisakin and Masut (in the same action) and again on Taiwo. The trio, however, is in the air. And he still makes it: Thomas Cossalter. At Olonisakin’s invitation, the midfielder with an armband stops and lets off a surgical low shot. This time Pennesi can’t get there: 3-1 and the game is on ice. Even if with a shadow due to the physical problem suffered by Diallo, whose test lasts the space of 5 revolutions of the hands.
THE ANALYSIS – «We prepared it well – analyzes mister Nicola Zanini -. We were good at reacting and in the end we risked little. We knew we were facing a dynamic team and we worked a lot on transitions, creating various opportunities. Yes, we are “pulling the rope”, even if the boys don’t make me worry about anything. For this reason, I hope to recover someone. In any case, we won’t take risks: it’s not worth it, the championship is long. Cossalter? He did both phases very well: his task was to annoy their point guard and he did it very well. We are talking about a really strong player.”
