Stronger than tiredness, stronger than Viglianisi's absence, stronger than Tuscan aggression: in the end the smile comes out again on Tortona's wheel and coach Arioli's boys break the bank at the Cecina sports hall, achieving the seventh consecutive seal between championship and cup at the end of a tight and tough match as per tradition in these latitudes.
With Viglianisi in the pits, the Bianconeri launch Cernivani in the quintet but it is once again the inspiration of a super Samoggia team that holds up the entire Tortona attack in a first half with a lack of collective spirit. Giuliano makes pots and lids responding to the shoulder attacks of Sanna and Capitanelli who make physicality a heavy weapon while balance remains the true master of a match that does not get out of the shallows of low scores and rhythms: 29-28 at half-time for the whites at home.
We start again with Samoggia at the basket but it is when Vitali and Venuto come into the game that we make the first move, extending up to +7. The rest is taken care of by an overflowing Rotondo who makes a big voice in the painting and the heart of the usual captain Leone Gioria, emblem of this great Derthona in 2014.
With this beautiful victory on Tuscan soil, Derthona can therefore better prepare for the next home match against Montecatini scheduled for next Sunday at the Uccio Camagna with coach Arioli who hopes to be able to recover Viglianisi and finally have the full roster.
