Serie C: Torres exorcises Virtus Entella, 2-1
Ruocco scores a brace and Zaccagno saves a penalty
The black beast is tamed. At the “Vanni Sanna” the rossoblù beat Virtus Entella 2-1 with two goals from Francesco Ruocco. Second place becomes increasingly solid after the sixth victory in a row.
In the 3rd minute, great ball from Liviero for Scotto who could shoot on the left but goes to the back and loses the ball. Entella's response is from a right corner with Giovannini who shoots from the ground in the area, touching the crossbar.
Rossoblù opportunity in the 25th minute on a good restart, Zambataro puts it in the center and Fischnaller and Scotto hinder each other. The Genoese team was very close to scoring after half an hour: cross from the right, a very angled shot from Portanova and Zaccagno flew, avoiding the goal. Torres punishes the guests: in the 38th minute Zambataro crosses from the right and Ruocco heads a lob in the center of the area that mocks the goalkeeper. Torres' first goal against Virtus Entella.
The second half opens with Torres close to doubling the lead: Antonelli heads from the left corner, but Delucia closes the corner well and also blocks Fischnaller's conclusion, then in the counterattack Virtus Entella somehow saves herself.
Rossoblù protests in the 55th minute on a cross Cester is held in the area but the referee awards the free kick. Liviero wastes immediately after a nice triangle to the left with a wide diagonal. Virtus Entella was dangerous in the 58th minute with a cross that two guest players in the small area failed to hit with their heads. Scotto tries running from the left in the 62nd minute but the diagonal is wide.
In the 64th minute on a corner the substitute Santini goes down in contact with Idda and the referee whistles the penalty. The same attacker beats him but Zaccagno senses it, flies to his left and blocks. The Ligurians were dangerous again in the 80th minute with a shot from Siatounis who however missed the target. It's the dress rehearsal: in the 82nd minute from the edge Petermann guesses the diagonal shot that bounces in front of Zaccagno and becomes unstoppable. It took Ruocco three minutes to put Torres back in the lead: Zecca's pass from the right and on a bouncing ball he calculated the half turn. Triumph.
