CESENA SURPASS RECANATESE 3-0
Cesena defeated Recanatese with a solid performance. After ending the first half 2-0 thanks to goals from Berti and Corazza, in the second half, the Bianconeri managed the pace to close the match, but not before adding another goal from Berti.
In the first half, Cesena took the lead with the match's first opportunity: a high pressing play by Cesena that allowed Corazza to recover the ball and immediately put it in the middle for Berti, who put the ball in the back of the Cesena net. A minute later, an excellent action by the Bianconeri brought Donnarumma to a shot, but the ball went just wide. In the 20th minute, Kargbo found Corazza on the edge of the box, who turned and, thanks to Shiba's deflection, found his 10th goal of the season. In the 29th minute, Recanatese came forward with a shot-cross by Carpani that Siano deflected into a corner. Two minutes later, Ciofi's cross to the far post found Donnarumma, who sidesteped to his right and shot it just wide. Late in the first half, Cesena went close to their third goal, first with Saber and then with Adamo, but both shots ended high and wide of the goal.
In the second half, the first chance came from Recanatese, with Melchiorri header off Raimo's corner, but it went wide. In the 68th minute, it was Cesena's turn on a counterattack, starting with De Rose, who played Berti in, but his shot went wide. In the second half, the pace dropped, with only a few chances on either side. In the 90th minute, Berti scored his first league brace with a point shot that beat Meli. With this victory, Cesena climbs to 92 points on the season.
