Football Excellence, Luiss CBill conquers the final of the Italian Cup of Excellence

Wednesday 18 January is a decisive day for Luiss CBill Eccellenza. Our boys meet Polisportiva Faul Cimini on the opposing field for the return semi-final of the Coppa Italia Eccellenza.
The match ends 1-1, but decrees the final for Stendardo’s university students, who had won 3-0 in the first leg. The team is determined to bring home the desired result. Despite the tough grass field at the limit of practicability, which doesn’t allow our game made of ball on the ground and triangulations.

The landlords try everything by deploying 4 attackers to overturn the first leg result. Polisportiva Faul Cimini immediately starts a strong pressing, but Luiss doesn’t stand by and tries some offensive action. But without ever reaching a conclusion. The opponents manage to score the 1 -0 goal with Blazevic, who gives them strength and courage. Thus ends the first half.

We return to the field and the home team returns to the attack, without however ever finding our team who defend the goal with their hearts unprepared. At minute 52 comes the twist. Rubolino puts pressure on the goalkeeper who sends the ball back to midfield; he receives Fraticelli who doesn’t think about it for a second and kicks a great goal on the fly. The opponents accuse the blow and the game ends 1 -1.

For the first time in the history of the Italian Cup of Excellence, a university team conquers the final: Luiss will have to contend for victory with Insieme Formia on February 1st.
