The snow delayed by about three quarters of an hour the match between Alexandria and Monza: the heavy snowfall had advised the company to lay on the ground Mandrogne Moccagatta of plastic sheeting. At 14.30 only half of the camp was liberated by guards. About thirty supporters have given manforte to leave the pitch. Success: Alexandria at 15:12 so-Monza could be started. Basically the race was a disappointment: apathetic first time, with only two notable occasions. In the second half a little bit more, but the most exciting moment (so to speak) came when the goalkeeper Westerveld white and red, shot in the head by a snowball from the north curve of the ultras Grey, has slumped ground (emphasizing a bit 'episode) and then back together after not less than four minutes. 0 0 to the inevitable and unavoidable end a severe fine against the company of George Veltroni.
As we said in the first half came just two episodes to be recorded in the notebook: 8 'Martini engages a vertical cross, you find yourself face to face with the goalkeeper but his shot is on the extreme Monza. At 25 'a cross-shot from the left side of the Cross for nearly slips nell'angolino at the far post. For the rest? The absolutely nothing: with the Lombards never dangerous and ready to close any gap with the Grays and Greys on the blunt.
The resumption saw the red and white guests aggressive: at 8 'from the left Ferrario puts in half a ball, which rejects the local defense Zebi feet, kicking the fly touching the pole. Step 3 'and the Monza tries again: the angle from the right side beaten by Meduri, head of Ferrari and hide out a little.
On 12 'Oualembo is trying, but his razor on service Iacopino nearly upright on the side and ends. And the Alexandria? There. Indeed, the Brianza in 16 'they burn their hands to serve him with a fireball from the edge of Zebi.
At 24 'last a little' gray: Negrini's cross from the right, lunges Cross, outside. At 35 'the two coaches, and Sarri Verdelli, are away from the field in protest. At 36 'goalkeeper Monza svirgola back pass on a referral, the ball comes to Scappini that opens, followed by the same Westerveld, pulled from a tight angle on the left, but the ball is on the bottom.
At 47 'Ricci enter into local area from the left, shoots on goal but servile and ready to repel the first pole. In the six minutes of recovery then the Alexandria has provided a shot from the edge and three corners in a row, but to no avail.
Ends up, 0 0. A match that Alexandria, despite the snow, he wanted to play at all costs, but it would be better to return.
