45′ We start again, ball for the Finale immediately with offensive traction. The ball ends up in a throw-in for Ceriale after an initial moment of exchanges.
Second half
46′ The first half between Ceriale and Finale ends after one minute of injury time. The match was blocked at 1-1, with several chances on each side. With the draw, the gap at the start of the match remains unchanged, Finale would only need one goal to go to extra time, two in case of victory, obviously without any further goals from Ceriale.
44′ Free kick for the Finale from just outside the area, on the ball Scalia who will try directly to go on goal. But no, it’s a decidedly unsuccessful scheme that gives the ball to Beluffi. The ball then becomes Ceriale’s throw-in.
43′ Beluffi takes the ball, focuses and kicks. Definitely pressured and always escorted in this match, the conclusion is very weak and goes wide.
40′ Capocelli’s millimetric pass which ends up at the feet of Cafarotti, the ball then goes to Ballone who had seen the defensive hole ready to slip in. Violent blow from the number 14 of the Finale, but Mondino puts his gloves on it.

33′ Gagliano’s risk in his penalty area. Pressured by two opponents, he risks losing the ball, then wins the foul by making up for his mistake.
32′ Surprise substitution by Brignoli, Agate out for Ballone. It is not clear whether it is due to a technical choice or some physical problem.
31′ The ball reaches Piu, he shoots from just a few steps away and Mondino saves with his legs. A bit of resentment from the bench who asked the referee for explanations, for him it was offside. Then on the corner kick, the ball ends up wide after a shot.
29′ Another corner kick for the Finale, it’s a scheme where the ball reaches Cafarotti who puts it in, then one of his teammates in the scrum is unable to kick from a few steps away, twisting the ball in from the goal kick.
24′ Free kick from 30 meters for the Finale, the Giallorossi player’s shot ends up not very high on the crossbar.
20′ Final in trouble in these last minutes, where the ball of the game belongs entirely to Ceriale. Corner kick for Finale now, it’s a pattern, a Finale player volleys a header, great goal from Cafarotti! Challenge now equal, even if some Ceriale players complained about a possible offside.
16 Beluffi L looks for a volley after the rebound, then the ball is stopped by Gayubo who turns in a handkerchief and shoots: slow conclusion and just wide.
10′ Great pass from Piu, a true visionary, the ball is collected by Agate who, in an attempt to stop, touches the ball badly and creates a sort of lob which is easily intercepted by Mondino. Immediately great pace in this match just 10 minutes from the start.
8′ Incursion by Ceriale with Pescio in the penalty area, Mambrin’s player looks for the back and then shoots from a few steps away, but finds the careful block of Finale.
6′ Again the finale with Piu reaching a great through ball, only to get lost near the opponent’s goal. In an attempt to recover the ball, he commits a foul and gives the ball away to Ceriale.

3′ Action by the Finale who believes in it, ball inside the penalty area but the ball is not intercepted by any of his teammates. Ball for Ceriale.
2′ Attention, Ceriale is immediately dangerous, the ball reaches Gayubo… great goal from Ceriale’s number 9 who immediately increases the result! Shot from outside the area, the ball goes out to the opposite post without giving Martinetti a chance. The Finale starts its match immediately uphill.
1′ We start a few minutes late, Bergonzi noticed a hole in one of the two doors which was promptly repaired. Let’s begin! The first ball of this match is from Ceriale.

Cerialis. Good evening to all dear readers and welcome to comment together LIVE, minute by minute, the match valid for the semi-final second leg of the Coppa Italia Promozione between Ceriale and Finale. The first leg match at Borel ended 2-3 in favor of the blue and whites, but the gap at the end of the final whistle is too small to already decide the possible team that will advance to the semi-finals. It will be a challenge full of former players, starting from the two benches: Brignoli, who lasted at the Ceriale and Mambrin at the Finale. There will also be several exes on the pitch, which will make the challenge even more exciting. In a race that is literally inside or outside, the two teams will hardly spare each other, making the show unique. On paper, Finale could probably start as an underdog given the home team’s performance in the championship. In the last 5 matches, Ceriale has collected 4 wins and 1 draw, the Finale 4 defeats and the super 8-1 victory against Ventimiglia. Furthermore, however this match ends, the two teams will compete again on Sunday in the championship at Borel.
