If the test with the Triestina It was supposed to be the dress rehearsal for the double playout challenge against Milan Futuro, mister Baldini must be seriously concerned. Luckily it was 'only' a friendly, and as such it must be considered. Without forgetting that the match was behind closed doors for everyone, including journalists, so the indications come directly from the clubs. In any case, at the Mazza stadium the team of Tesser, scoring twice in the first half with Udoh and one in the final with CortinovisA heavy 0-3, which describes a clear step backwards compared to the championship matches of the white and blues.

Looking at the scoresheet, however, one can easily imagine that the Massa coach first of all took care of managing the energy of his players, resting those who were injured or tired and granting practically no more than one half to all the players. The various Fiordaliso, Mignanelli, Parigini and Spini, who will predictably start against Milan Futuro, did not even take to the field. For the rest, the technical staff mixed up the cards by initially fielding a 3-5-2 with Galeotti between the posts, Arena, Nador and Bassoli in defense, Zammarini, Paghera, El Kaddouri, Awua and D'Orazio in midfield, Karlsson and Antenucci in attack.

Triestina ahead in the 9th minute: the team of Tesser recovers the ball in midfield and restarts at speed, with Udoh who beats Galeotti with a precise right-footed shot to the far post. Shortly after the half hour mark, the alabardati double their lead: once again Udoh protagonist, this time with a follow-up control and a lethal conclusion on the far post. The hat-trick comes at the end of the match with a shot from Cortinovis, who comes back on the right and unleashes an unstoppable curling shot that goes under the crossbar. The Biancazzurri were only dangerous in the second half with Molina, but the boys of Baldini they are left empty-handed.
