Perugia ends with a bitter victory: 3-0 against Pontedera and protests from the Curva Nord

From PerugiaThe Perugia take home there victory of regrets. A 3-0 that was too wide, against a team, the Pontedera (reworked), arrived in Perugia with the play offs in the pocket conquered with seven days to spare, which gives in only in the final, after the carousel of substitutions. A victory that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth for what could have been and was not. Kanoute he immediately puts it downhill, montevago with a double he rounds it off. But it's the day of reckoning, of dispute of Curva Nord to the team, first with a banner when they entered the field "Players: all unworthy, go away. Club: Perugia deserves more" and then at the final whistle with a speech, with the players lined up under the sector to listen to the thoughts of the fans: next year no more excuses.

The match. It's the last match of the season. There's a great desire to put the year behind us. To score a point and start again. Without forgetting the many mistakes made. Cangelosi chooses the 4-2-3-1, with Cisco, Kanoute and Seghetti behind Montevago. To finish with dignity and Perugia, against a Pontedera that has largely done its part by conquering the play offs, starts off strong. Kanoute first puts the ball in the center for Montevago's head (4'), after three minutes he decides to do it all by himself, he steals a ball on the edge of the area from Vitali and with a low shot makes it 1-0. The Tuscan team, having taken the slap, raises its head and pushes, presses, with order and ideas. Creating some headaches for the red and white rearguard, a bit discomposed at times. Pontedera has a clear head, the red and white one should be too, but there is an urgency not to end with a defeat in front of the rather disappointed fans. After the lead, the match was also enjoyable, with Pontedera always on the pitch and the red and whites more lively with the three up front. At the end there was the risk of a disaster, when Albertoni cleared Italeng who narrowly missed the equaliser (41').

The second half begins with some defensive failures, Albertoni saves on Sala (11') who burns Mezzoni. Pontedera is more fluid than Perugia, tries with Guidi (18') and at 25' with a shot from Pietra, well done Albertoni. Perugia changes, with Torrasi, who replaces Giunti and gives Montevago the ball for 2-0 (32'). The Grifo bomber makes the encore three minutes later and rises to 13 goals.

Curtain. No applause.
