MILAN FUTURO ARE DEFEATED BY LEADERS PESCARA

Defeat away for Milan Futuro, who lost at the Adriatico to Pescara, the league leaders. The match ended 4-1 on Matchday Nine, a result which developed in the second half of the first half, with the one-two Tonin-Merola, after the initial goal from Pierozzi. A scoreline of 3-0 at Half Time made it seem like the gap was virtually insurmountable, despite the Rossoneri's reaction, which culminated in Turco's first goal of the season in the 53rd minute. On the whole, it was a difficult evening for our boys, without Camarda and Liberali, who came back late from international duty.

The side found a spring in their step in the second half, but at the start of the match the chance from Zeroli could 'very well allowed for a different story to be written in this match. Turco and Magni's had a positive impact on the match, courageous and allowing us to believe; Nicolò in particular, scored his first goal of the season and was always lively during the match. There were signs to be positive about and build upon in the run up to the next game, at home against Sestri Levante. Points and confidence will be needed for the win.

MATCH REPORT
Pescara chose to control the match and rhythm from the off, but we had the first big chance: in the fifth minute Zeroli slot in behind the defence thanks to a good pass from Chaka, but when it came down to a one on one situation with Plizzari, he was intercepted. Pescara, however, capitalised on their first chance: in the eighth minute, Torriani did well to deny Merola, but Pierozzi was the quickest on the rebound and scored. Torriani denied Tonin in the 22nd minute but he conceded ten minutes later, after a miscommunication with Malaspina opened up the chance for Tonin to make it 2-0. Merola scored the third in the 35th minute, who put Squizzato's low cross into the net.

Bonera made three changes at the start of the second half, with some positive impact being seen: the first to have an attempt was Magni, who found space in the middle but shot wide with his left foot. In the 53rd minute, Longo pushed down the first and provided a great cross to find Turco's head on the back post, a goal from  Nicolò and a slight flame was lit. However, in the 63rd minute an error from a corner gave Pescara their fourth goal of the night. The last 30 minutes of place allowed for Bonera to give some minutes to Hodzić and Omoregbe, but there were no more chances at the Adriatico. The game came to an end, a heavy defeat which did not truly reflect the rossoneri's performance.
