SAN MARINO – Murata enters the final of the Titano Futsal Cup e will try to defend the title won last year. However – as then – Pennarossa will not be there to compete with him for the trophy. Instead, Virtus will be there, who yesterday evening, in the second of the two semi-finals, overcame Chiesanuova’s team with momentum. In the match at 8.15pm, Murata had had to work hard and not a little to get the better of Domagnano. The Bianconeri soon broke the deadlock with Moretti’s shot on application of a free kick scheme. However, Domagnano remains in the game and the equalizer at the end of the first half with De Bellis’ first goal of the seasonable to resolve one-on-one discussions with Protti. Vagnini’s goal, in the 11th minute of the second half, fuels the dreams of Gasperoni’s kids. However, Murata takes a few turns of the hand to get back to the waterline: it is exactly half of the second half when Vagnini himself, in defensive retreat, is hit by a strong pass and he finds himself, against his will, displacing Muraccini. The new balance is broken in the final minutes: Busignani and Zanotti start again from midfield in a two against zero, solved by the Juventus captain with a close shot that gives Muraccini practically no chance of reply. With more risks than expected, but Murata again in the final act of the competition. Virtus, on the other hand, resolves the second semi-final with fewer worries. Michelotti’s men cash in with the time almost up the Verri network, useful only for updating the scorenot to question the verdict. At that point of the match, in fact, Virtus was leading 3-0. The first goal arrives in the 8th minute thanks to Zafferani’s under-range shot, served by Belloni. Then it’s there double from Belloni himselfbuilt between 40′ and 45′, to give the Acquaviva band the decisive push towards the final on Sunday 3 May.
