The first full midweek round of Serie D was played, which therefore sent the 8th matchday to an end, the 10th for the first three groups (A, B and C) which have 20 teams. In Group D, San Marino Calcio collapses at home, with Prato taking the lead 0-3in a match that was however very conditioned by the terrible conditions of the pitch at the Acquaviva stadium.
As you read above newslettercalcio.comThe San Marino Sports Director Daniele Deoma did not look for alibis, acknowledging the merits of the opponents, but also brought to attention the problem of the pitch: “Prato is a strong and organized team that immediately knew how to best tackle a match played on an impassable pitch, with an attitude superior to ours. The situation on the pitch is a surreal situation. San Marino has a strong owner in President Montanari who is investing a lot to bring this team back to the football that counts and frankly bear the name of San Marino. being forced to host a prestigious club like Prato on such a pitch made us very embarrassed“.
But it doesn’t end here. The conditions of the turf also put the players’ safety at risk: “An unworthy spectacle which saw two injuries already in the first minutes of the game, which did not worsen thanks also to the professionalism of the athletes on the pitch. Our hope is that such a situation will never happen again for the good name of San Marino football and San Marino.”
