For 25′ it was a beautiful, tough and never tamed Pallacanestro Vigarano team. The same one admired in the first two matches of the tournament. Mantova’s break in the last 5′ of the third half was decisive for the Virgilian team’s success (score 68-52), but the red and white team can start again with confidence in view of next Saturday’s home match against Matelica.
The first 20′ saw a tough and combative Vigarano, who withstood the impact well against the zonal defense sent to the parquet by the Virgilian technical staff. The home team only went ahead at the end of the first half, thanks to Dell’Olio (15-9), but Pepe and her teammates remained close to their opponents, despite the low shooting percentages (35% against 23%). At the start of the second half there was room for Moretti and Rizzo, Dell’Olio was the protagonist of Mantua‘s maximum advantage, at +10, 21-11 (12′). Vigarano doesn’t give up. On the contrary. He defends hard and produces in attack, with Valensin (23-18 at 14′), four points from Armillotta (23-22 at 16′) and the triple of the lead by Grassia: at 18′, after the counterbreak of 2-14 in 6′, it’s 23-25. Mantua ends the first half ahead, but Vigarano proves he is there. Fusari is the star of Mantua’s excellent start (37-27 at 23′), but coach Grilli’s red and whites remain there, also thanks to Valensin (39-34 at 25′), before the hosts manage to break the deadlock with Fusari, her again, Ramò and Orazzo: at 30′, after the counterbreak of 13-2 in 5′, it’s 52-36. Decisive partial? Yes, Dell’Olio and Ramò extend to +21 (60-39), Grassia among the last to give up, but Mantova closes and wins with merit. Vigarano must start again from the first 25’, looking towards the future with optimism.
