Legnano draws but fails: “Not a very positive season for the referees who meet us”

A draw, the one achieved against Pianese yesterday (16th matchday of the Serie C championship, Group B), which did not go down at the Legnagowhich on its official channels retraces the match not without controversy, contesting the refereeing which, according to the club, penalized the Venetian team. Which, as the company writes, has been happening for some time.
Here is the note:

“This is a decidedly less than positive season for the referees who encounter Legnago Salus, penalizing them excessively from the beginning of the season to today. From the hasty expulsion of Zanandrea in Campobasso to Perugia’s goal, passing through the penalty invented in that Arezzo and arriving at today’s very questionable one at Pianese’s home who, moreover, should have played a good part of the second half with 10 men, due to Odjer’s blow to Zanetti, punished only with the “rooster”.

It’s a shame because, apart from Ampollini’s great save after five minutes, on Colombo’s empty net shot after Perucchini had anticipated Mignani with his foot, in the first half of the game it was mostly the blue and whites that were seen.

In the 8th minute, Palazzino’s personal action, but his shot was rebounded. Sixty seconds later, a nice shot from the left by Svidercoschi, who serves in the center for Bombagi, whose shot from outside the area comes out not far to the goalkeeper’s left.

The hosts meet again only after half an hour, with the header of the Tuscan captain, Simeoni, whose strike from Odjer’s free kick gives the illusion of a goal, so much so that in the Piancastagnaio stadium the music starts to celebrate the network that, fortunately, didn’t exist.

In the 36th minute Demirovic’s low corner, Svidercoschi’s turn and Boer’s save.

Five minutes later, Legnago’s deserved lead: Muteba flies down the right and then catches Ruggeri on the opposite side, who dribbles past everyone, including the opposing goalkeeper, then kicks the ball into the net to make it 0-1 which goes into half-time.

Five minutes after returning to the pitch, a nice double intervention by Perucchini, first on Odjer’s shot from outside, then on Sorrentino’s rebound.

In the 19th minute, as we said, the referee graces Odjer, who gives a dramatic slap to Zanetti who has just entered, but only a yellow card is issued.

120 seconds later, a sensational error in front of goal by Falleni, who graces us from a good position.

In the 25th minute Zanetti’s cross shot went just over the crossbar.

When the match now seemed to be heading towards us, just after the 90th minute the referee generously sanctioned the contact between Ruggeri and Falleni with a penalty, which Mastropietro coolly converted.

A couple of minutes later, the two protagonists of the penalty have a close encounter; yellow card for both, but for Ruggeri it is the second and therefore the expulsion is triggered, accompanied by that of Mr. Contini for protests.

It ends 1-1, and for our colors it really seems like an injustice.”
