Six points earned in their last two games, the first away to Anzio, and the second, even more prestigious, yesterday in Tertenia, against a very strong Trastevere, second in the league behind Scafatese, who haven't lost in a long time. It was a good performance by Cos, who climbed decisively up the table, although they still need a lot of points to secure their safety. The Cos team, seen in Anzio and yesterday in Ogliastra, certainly has all the ingredients to achieve their goal. Coach Francesco Loi was clear, stating that his team certainly played a well-organized and focused match against a tough opponent.
A win that came after four consecutive home defeats that had sunk the team into the play-off zone. Now the team has responded, with Cos jumping to seventh place, tied with Lodigiani, just two points off the play-offs and four points clear of the play-offs. A truly remarkable achievement in just two games. Credit goes to the coach, the entire staff, and the players. The very young goalkeeper Cutrone, born in 2006, even saved a penalty with the two teams still tied (1-1). Subsequent goals from Feola and Spanu (the first scored by Anedda) then arrived for the final 3-1, restoring crucial points in the standings and sparking enthusiasm among the entire team, including the fans. A victory achieved without several regular starters, including Sarritzu, Arboleda, Loi, Rosseti, Piredda, and Floris. It should also be noted that this year, Cos has often had to do without key starters in almost every game they've played.
Having defeated Trastevere, Cos now looks ahead to their next match, scheduled for Saturday away to Palmese, a team built for a great championship, but which finished just outside the relegation zone with 32 points. A tough opponent to face, as coach Loi himself noted, given the commitment, play, and aggression they displayed in Anzio and yesterday against Trastevere.
