A1 M - Florentia takes a step forward, draws, plays, and has fun

In the ninth round of the men's regular season, Minetti's Florentia achieved their second draw of the season against Telimar Palermo, a strong and unwavering opponent. An important point for morale and standings for Minetti's team, keeping pace with rivals and securing the fifth positive result of the season.

In addition to the usual Sordini and Bini, Carlo Di Fulvio had a good performance, and Cicali's saves were crucial in the defining moments of the match after a difficult start. Next Saturday in Syracuse, facing Ortigia will be another direct clash against a strong opponent.
