A2 M – Acquachiara's applause-worthy performance beats Ischia 8-7 in the derby
Third victory in the tournament for the white and blue team
Completely refuting the possible tactical readings from the eve, Acquachiara delivers a majestic performance in a match that does not offer them the most congenial script, defending excellently, showing great determination, demonstrating the maturity of a team of veterans, and achieving, with full merit, the third victory of their tournament. In the match valid for the fifth day of the South group in the Serie A2 championship, the home team defeats Ischia Marine Club 8-7, quickly forgetting last week's misstep against Palermo. What the white and blue team takes away from the match is an authentic battle in which they consistently dictate the pace of operations, create the decisive gap with a 2-0 break in the second quarter, and are then masterful in repelling the comeback attempts of the opponents every time they try to return led by the most experienced players. Breaking the balance definitively are Andrea Di Maro's incursion into the heart of the opponent's area, materialized by Pasquale Porzio's precise assist, and De Florio's magic as he eludes the direct marker, moves inward and strikes the excellent Cappuccio. The team coached by Mattiello shortens the distance with Nina, but the troops trained by President Porzio never lose concentration and even when the opponents rely on experience, they do not retreat a millimeter and secure the final stretch with Davide Cielo's diagonal bomb that sets the score at 8-6. D'Abundo's goal in numerical superiority brings the Islanders back, but Acquachiara defends with fierce determination and can rejoice at the final whistle. The entire team performs at excellent performance levels, but it is impossible not to mention the performances of a monumental Mattia Fortunato in defense and a wall-like Davide Chianese. At the end of the match, the Acquachiara goalkeeper commented on the game.
Davide Chianese
Today there was a great performance by the whole team in both phases of the game, but especially in the defensive phase. These are the performances that highlight the hard work we put in during training. We enjoy the victory, then from Monday, we focus on the next one, as we have the second consecutive derby ahead of us.
