The last game of the season was a nice game however everything was not really hot since the championship was already decided. There was some tension though but not even close to the level of the previous game against this team.
We had no substitutes today so the physical part was harder. We started controlling the game and soon Francesco does a great combination with both feet and scores a great goal, 1-0. Then we see that the referee (the old crazy guy of the first game) is again clearly against us, with no sense of shame at all. Every single issue, no matter how clear, was given to them. The great news is that we showed an amazing matureness and we almost didn't complain at all.
In that strange atmosphere we managed to control the ball. Stefan had two great chances after very nice movements but no luck. Suddenly, again a great move from Francesco and another goal, 2-0.
Then the break. During the first half Gianluca didn't have much work. The defense was working nicely with Digo as last guy and Fernando very focussed not only in defense but also taking the ball out to the attack. On top of that Francesco and mainly Stefan were helping a lot in defense.
Great first half of Stefan, great movements in attack and focussed in defense.
In the second half everything changed, mainly because we were tired. We didn't defend with the same strength and they scored two goals. The second one a very lucky one that Gianluca didn't see on time.
After that, both teams got chances to win. We had more, Francesco got perhaps the clearest but no luck. Also fair to say that Digo did a key cut on a 2 vs 1 and, even more, Gianluca saved us with two great saves at the end of the game.
US: Good first time with everyone focus, Stefan moving like never before and Francesco very inspired. Second half was less nice but that was understandable.
THEM: Their captain is, to say it mildly, the most unpopular guy in the league. No doubts about that. Today, like in every game: complaining, insulting, playing dirty and violently from the very first minute, etc; everything allowed by the old referee. Today they didn't have the blond chunky striker, instead they had a "dark skin" (not really black) guy that moves a lot and also a grey hair guy that was more static. The dark guy did a great action in their first goal. Still none of them as good and skillful as the blond guy. On the other hand this ones are normal guys, no signs of sickness in them.
If we don't consider their captain's behavior and the ***** referee (ridiculously against us), today it was a normal game, not many differences with others in the league.
Goals: Francesco (2x)
Linesman: Lorenzo
