TERRANUOVA BRACCIOLINI – Careless at the back and with little quality up front: this is how Seravezza's performance at the “Mario Matteini“ in Terranuova Bracciolini can be summed up yesterday. Against a team that closed up at the back... and that was grateful for Seravezza's kind defensive concessions, Lucio Brando's team showed that they "never die", grabbing a draw that seemed out of the question in the 94th minute with substitute Lepri who placed a perfect right-footed shot, after Benedetti's pass with his back to the goal, slipping it past Timperanza at the far post in the middle of a very busy area where even goalkeeper Lagomarsini had gone to jump for the final assault. Before that, however, Seravezza had conceded too much. For two games now, Menghi, who has almost always been Seravezza's best player on the pitch all season, seems unrecognisable and makes mistakes that are uncharacteristic of him.

Yesterday the goal conceded at the beginning of the second half was a blunder with a back pass by Coly and a blunder by Menghi on pressure from Iaiunese. The same 2006 striker from Terranuova Traiana in the first half had forced Lagomarsini to make a great save... and then he hit the post with an open goal.
