The Puntini bent Catania BS on the penalty shootout in Sambenedetto del Tronto to clinch the Coppa Italia Enel 2014
Terracina Beach Soccer claimed the Coppa Italia Enel 2014 after a terribly balanced fight against Catania Beach Soccer. After the final 2-2, the Terracinesi used a wonderful save by Spada, and Llorenç’s perfect aim to secure the win at the penalty kick shootout. The Betclic Beach Arena di San Benedetto del Tronto, home to the Coppa Italia 2013 champions Sambenedettese, witnessed a wonderful fight between two focused, determined and talented sides.
First period seemed to point to an easy win for Terracina. Just seconds after the kick-off, Andrezinho swept the biancoazzurri ahead, with Spanish striker Llorenç helping with the 2-0. But things would change, as Catania closed all ways to their nets again, and began trying to fight back their opponent’s dominion.
No goals were scored in the middle frame, but Zurlo and Be Martins managed to equalize the score in the last period, making it 2-2 and sending the final to extra time. Those three minutes were not enough to declare a champion, so the 9-meter lottery would pass sentence. From the penalty kick spot, Terracina proved better aimed, and bagged the Coppa Italia Enel 2014, thus securing a place in the Italian Supercoppa, and getting to the Euro Winners Cup in the best mood.
The two sides might be facing again during next week, as both will be involved in the Euro Winners Cup 2014, kicking off next Tuesday, 3rd of June. Precisely Catania will host the event, so the red-and-blue, playing at home, will have an extra boost of energy to pay the Puntini back.
Villafranca earns third
In the game for the third place, Villafranca bent Happy Car Sambenedettese (1-3), thanks to the hits by Swissman Spacca, the Tahitian dynamo Heimana Taiarui, and Argentinean Lucas Medero. Defending champions could only slap back once, through Soria, to make the score 1-1, but could do nothing more against the Villafranca inspiration today.
