The first minutes of today’s match saw two evenly-matched sides tentatively probing for openings and studying each other carefully. Ambrit had a clear physical advantage but Monteverde were keen to play the ball on the ground and their No. 10 looked dangerous from the start. Leone and Diego got a couple of early shots in but nothing to trouble the goalkeeper. Ambrit were suffering a little in defence: the absence of Giovanni left a lot of space in front of Matteo and Monteverde used it to get off some shots of their own, but Mostafa handled everything competently. The opening goal came from a nice Ambrit move: Noel hooked a ball on to Diego, who turned inside and found Leone to shoot home from the edge of the area. A similar move immediately afterwards saw the ball move from Edo to Diego to Leone but the goalkeeper saved the shot this time. Monteverde then equalised somewhat fortuitously and Ambrit’s game fell apart for a while. Coach Nardi called a time out to steady the ship and, immediately from the restart, Leone fired home another goal and then hit the post a minute later!
In the second half, Tor steadied the nerves again with a goal off a Junio assist… though the goalkeeper should really have saved. No matter, Ambrit were now 3-1 ahead and playing better football. Edo made it 4-1 when he flicked the ball over the head of the defender before rounding him and shooting home. The Monteverde No. 10 pulled one back near the end, a high shot coming out of the sun that was difficult for Mostafa to stop. A good all-round performance, with Gabriel and Leone standing out.
