It ends with a narrow defeat the return to the official field of FC Lugano Femminile, bowing with a 1-2 result to Schlieren, the new second force in the National League B championship.
TWO MISTAKES PAID DEARLY
Saturday night's game was essentially balanced. In the opening fraction, it was noticeable that it was the first of the new year. There was some tension and emotion among the girls that did not allow them to make the transition as they would have liked. Two big defensive errors cost the Zurich double advantage. Unlike what often happened in the summer-autumn phase (where they experienced a subsequent period of "tarnishing"), the girls reacted immediately and halved the gap thanks to Anaïs Fragnito. In the resumption, the team faced the engagement showing an interesting maneuver and trying to put pressure on the locals. However, the three-four attractive opportunities created did not yield the equalizing point.
NEW TAILBACK
The eighth setback of the season suffered at the Sportanlage Zelgli changes the ranking situation of the Lugano women, whose position goes - due to Sunday's surprising external success of Oerlikon/Polizei in the derby with Winterthur (3-2) - from being ninth to tenth and last.
IT GOES ON LIKE THIS
Next Saturday, March 1, the Sottocenerina soccer players will be engaged in another complicated duel. In fact, at 6:30 p.m., on Cornaredo's Field F, they will be measured against the Geneva-based Étoile Carouge, who were overtaken by Schlieren precisely because of the goal-difference.
MISTER FRANSIOLI: "MISTAKES DON'T ERASE PERFORMANCE"
"At the break I asked the team to return to the field with no regrets. During the first half there were some, in the second half there were not. The opponent of this round is of value. It is no coincidence that they occupy the second place in the standings. Personally, I am very pleased with how the girls performed. Two big mistakes cannot and should not erase the performance provided. What was missing was healthy desperation and, knowing the group a little, I know they will offer it on Saturday against Étoile Carouge".
