Unitas Sciacca conquers Terrasini: Morleo seals the deal against Partinicaudace
Black-green heart: the promotion playoffs are getting closer and closer
An excellent performance and three points of enormous significance for Unitas Sciacca, which conquered the Favazza Stadium in Terrasini by defeating Partinicaudace 1-0 thanks to a beautiful goal by Morleo in the 27th minute of the second half. The black-greens approached the direct clash with confidence from the very first minutes, coming close to taking the lead a couple of times in the first half and always maintaining control of the game in a decisive match for both teams. In the second half, the home team tried to increase the pace led by the initiatives of Caronia and Sanseverino, but Sciacca responded with order and determination, creating the best chances and defending without making mistakes. The winning goal came from a perfect header by Morleo from an equally precise cross from the left by Caternicchia, which rewarded the superiority of the Saccensi. In the final moments, there were a few moments of suffering, but mister Brucculeri's team managed the last opposing assaults with maturity, even coming close to doubling the score. The race for the promotion playoffs thus rewards the Saccensi: “Result fully deserved against a worthy opponent – commented a satisfied Totò Brucculeri at the end – it was a very important direct clash, I have to congratulate the boys who applied themselves after the disappointing home draw the previous week against Parmonval. The playoffs are now closer, it’s a goal we deserve, which we must achieve in the upcoming matches. We are obliged to express ourselves as we did today, I am confident.” On the other hand, the Palermo team takes a step back, overtaken in the standings. The last three matches of the season will be decisive, but at the moment Licata and his teammates are the most favored to secure a spot in the playoffs alongside Kamarat and Marsala.
