Milan Future, what a waste. The mockery of the comeback
Group B, the Rossoneri fail to defend their lead and Pontedera equalises in the final minutes.

Massimo Oddo, suspended for one round, had to follow Milan Futuro from the stands
SOLBIATE ARNO (Varese)Another comeback suffered and another victory missed for the Milan Futuro, which does not go beyond a draw with the Pontedera. The final score is 1-1, with the Rossoneri once again unable to defend their lead. The men of Oddo remain at the bottom of the standings right in the area playout. First half completely blocked. The fraction ends with virtually no shots on target, except for a half-attempt from long range by Pontedera with Sala in the quarter of an hour and a not very incisive left-footed shot by Branca in the 42nd minute for the Rossoneri. The Chinetti pitch, made heavy by the rain, does not help the construction phase of the two teams. Milan holds its defensive positions well, has more possession and tries to stretch out especially on the left side, but sins in the last play.
In the second half, Oddo's men - in the stands due to suspension - were more lively and in the 9th minute Malaspina served a chocolate for Quirini in the area, who hit the post on the fly (third consecutive woodwork for him after the two he hit in Pineto on Tuesday). Pontedera tried to be dangerous on the counterattack and in the 21st minute Lipari sent a curling shot just wide. In the 28th minute the Rossoneri broke the deadlock: Bartesaghi intelligently took a free kick from the edge of the area, passing the ball under the wall, Tantalocchi parried it, but then Camporese beat him with a tap-in. The guests responded immediately first with Sala and then with Van Ransbeeck, but Raveyre made a double great save. With seven minutes to go, Pontedera equalised: a corner from Van Ransbeeck and a perfect header from Corona, who beat a Raveyre who was this time imprecise.
MILAN FUTURO-PONTEDERA 1-1 (0-0). Goalscorers: 28'st Camporese (M), 38' st Corona (P).
