Budoni won the Coppa Italia di Eccellenza on penalties , after both regular time (1-1) and extra time (2-2) ended in a draw. Two mistakes by Carbonia from the penalty spot, only one by Budoni: the Gallurese then lifted the trophy, handed over to Captain Farris by the president of the Sardinian FIGC Gianni Cadoni, after winning on penalties 9-8.
Budoni immediately ahead: great goal in the 23rd minute from Giuseppe Meloni, the relentless striker , who was also the great ex of the match, on an assist from Raimo. Surprisingly, in the 38th minute of the second half, Carbonia equalized through Serra , when everyone by now assumed the victory of the biancocelesti, who until then seemed to have control of the match. Indeed, Budoni could have even doubled with Assoumani leading.
During extra time Carbonia scores through Agostinelli , thus overturning the match in the 3rd minute of the second extra time, thanks to a spectacular lob from twenty-five metres. But, a handful of minutes from the end, the referee Fresu recognizes a foul in the Carbonia area and decrees a penalty, which Meloni still converts.
This is how we go to the shots from the spot.
For Budoni, Lancioni, Farris, Meloni, Greco, De Goicoechea, Caparrós, Raimo score.
