CHIEVO – VIRTUS ENTELLA CHIAVARI 3-0
Chievo beats a good Virtus Entella Chiavari in fluency in the third round of the Coppa Italia, the first official engagement at the Bentegodi ahead of the home league opener against Inter on Sunday, August 21. The goalscorers bear the signature of Meggiorini in the first half, Castro and newcomer Pellissier in the second half.
First half. Ligurians who will play the B championship start well: Masucci kicks from outside over the crossbar. Entella corner nothing to do. 13′: from the crossbar this time Chievo tries, bangs and rebounds in the area, ball to Inglese, ready shot from the limit, equally the response of Iacobucci who lifts over the crossbar. New corner, ball out of the area, Hetemaj kicks at the far post, the rearguard saves for a corner from which nothing springs. Three minutes later Moreo finds an opening on the left and centers, no teammate is ready for the aerial deflection. The minutes pass, emotions seem to be absent. It’s Meggiorini on 24’who wakes up the game with a relay shot from the edge, ball just wide. Chievo accelerates: Meggiorini literally wastes away, getting hypnotized by Iacobucci after a mistake by Pellizzer who had unmarked the Clivenese striker. Maran’s boys press, Birsa hits the barrier on a free kick. 37′: Chievo’s pressure materializes, Birsa takes off down the right and centers long, Meggiorini volleying in at the first post, surprising Iacobucci for 1-0. Entella tries to react, Tremolada tries to surprise Sorrentino careful on the conclusion from outside the Ligurian tip.
Second half. Start of the second half and same formations on the field. Chievo wants to close the file, Spezia is dangerous in one circumstance, Moreo falls in the clivense area, the referee lets it go. Entella doesn’t give up, nice action on the right by Masucci who centers, on the other side Troiano breaks through and lets off a cross-shot low shot, deflected into the corner. Chievo immediately restarts, Castro from outside (19′) with a soft conclusion that slips behind the host keeper for 2-0 Clivense. The Ligurians insert Diaw for Tremolada: the newcomer immediately comes to the fore, Dainelli makes up for it in the corner. Breda inserts Cutolo for Moreo and Costa Ferreira for Palermo. Chievo tightens the ranks, Maran inserts Pellissier for Meggiorini. The newcomer takes five minutes to make it three: in the 38th minute he pierces the visiting goalkeeper on Hetemaj’s service. Maran makes the last substitutions: in go Parigini and Frey for Castro and Inglese. It ends here: Chievo-Entella 3-0.
