Go Derthona, good first one!
With effort, with suffering, without even shining but in the end with arms raised in midfield with the first 2 points of our history in Serie B. Here is the story of this debut for strong hearts, as if to tell us that the solitary rides of past years are a distant memory and that on these screens there will always be sweating for 40 minutes.
At the siren it's Urania 56 Derthona 57 at the end of a match that is resolved only in the last seconds when Quaroni puts in basketball wisdom and Samoggia comes out of the shallows of a day that started out wrong but in which Tortona still deserves the pink copy of the scoresheet because he leads the dances from the first possession.
The 12-26 in the middle of the second quarter deceives us in the wake of a sumptuous Ganguzza and an energetic Pavone but Fusella's size keeps Milan hooked to the match despite the flare-ups of a positive Degrada. We maintained minimal advantages until Novati equalized with 6 minutes on the clock and we went to play on the last possessions when the defense directed by Arioli remembered that it was our true trademark by closing every gap to Lombard incursions. Quaroni's two free throws make Villa's midfield miracle useless and seal an away success that boosts morale, awareness and a lot of rankings with the mind turned to Saturday 6 October. CUS Torino arrives at the Palazzetto, an opponent of many battles and strong with ambitions that the home stop certainly hasn't affected: it's our first time in Tortona, don't make any commitments. Go Lions, go Derthona
