In the Serie A2 roller hockey championship, with about 7 minutes to go, Bdl Correggio was losing 5 to 2 in Bassano, when Manuele Pedroni… approached his team, telling them that from that moment on, scheme 1, so dear to Pino Marzella in the past, would apply: "Give me the ball and move, I'll take care of it".
Well, the very young Pedroni, who turns 18 today, scored five goals in five minutes (because he spent two of them on the bench due to a temporary expulsion), overturning the score to the final 7 to 5.
Never seen a situation like this and rarely seen a player so determined and decisive: three of the five goals, among other things, were of excellent workmanship. In the rest of the match Correggio had highs and lows, closing the first one at 2-3 and suffering a double of 2-5 at the beginning of the second half. Then the great comeback, until the final result that confirms the second place behind Breganze, stopped in Thiene in the Vicenza derby (7-5) and now 4 points away.
SERIE B. The two derbies that crossed the teams of Correggio and Scandiano go to the two teams better positioned in the standings. The league leaders Minimotor Correggio conquers the Roller Scandiano field by 5 to 2 with goals by Pedroni (a brace that launches him to 91 goals for the season), Castiglioni (2) and Gabbi. Scandiano responds with Montanari and Montecroci. Rotellistica Sasco Scandianese, second in the standings, conquers the Dorando Pietri of Correggio, despite struggling. The match ends 3 to 2 for Barbieri's boys who score with Gioele Ganassi, Castaldi and Consiglio, while for Italplastics there is a brace by Mangano. Ghiaroni of Correggio is definitively sent off.
