Two goals conceded in two minutes, a post and a crossbar that tremble. It doesn't take too many vowels and consonants to tell the little that the Rimini has done in Sardinia. Too little in terms of production even to harm a Torres who are not doing very well. While back there the start of the second half is a real nightmare. So much so that it risks ending in a goleada for the Sardinians. In short, not exactly a good calling card in view of the final of Coppa Italia the Rimini On Tuesday they will play at home against Giana Erminio, who yesterday scored three goals against Triestina in the championship.

Buscè spares someone. In defense there are no De Vitis and Longobardi. In midfield there is no space, at least initially, for Malagrida and the returning Garetto. And also in attack considering that Parigi starts from the bench. Like Cioffi who, by now, is used to staying down at the initial whistle. The first half is one of those that does not agitate anyone's spirits. The first ring, on both sides, comes exactly after 34 minutes with Gagliano's shot. And not even in the goal. Too little to call it an entertaining match. The second half is livelier, but thanks to the Torres. Who immediately comes forward with Mastinu. Thrill for Vitali and that is only the beginning. Because in the next seven minutes the Sardinians build their victory.

Mint he sprints to the right, burning Falbo, and crosses in a poisonous ball that Megelaitis sends it behind Vitali. Two minutes later diakite, invited by Mastini, sprints between De Vitis and Megelaitis before overtaking the red and white number one. The position of the striker needs to be completely reviewed Torres. Then Zecca tries (Vitali saves), then Scotto's header and Mastinu's shot. The Rimini is in a spin and the only real jolt of the day to the 91 Romagnola fans who arrived in Sardinia was the work of Parigi, who Buscè sent onto the pitch in the first minutes of the second half together with Cioffi. The Arezzo striker confirmed himself as a perfect collector of woodwork, managing to hit the crossbar (with his head) and then the post (with the outside of his right foot) in the same action. However, too little to cause even a little trouble to the Torres. We turn the page immediately, we need to do it this time more than ever. And as quickly as possible.
