Third outing of the season and encouraging signs for Federico Coppitelli’s Cosenza, who yesterday in Lorica beat Vibonese with a clear 3-0, a team that will participate in the next Serie D championship.
A useful test to verify the team’s progress after the days of preparation and to allow the rossoblù coach to evaluate the new additions and the group’s state of form. Coppitelli confirms 4-3-3 as the reference system. Between the posts there is room for the new arrival Iliev, while in front of him the defensive line composed of Cogoni, another new face, Dametto, Caporale and Ciotti is proposed again. The latter is close to transferring to Salernitana. In the middle of the field D’Alena and Langella together with the debutant McJannet, making his first appearance with the rossoblù shirt. Contilian, Emmausso and Achour find space in the offensive trident, called upon to give liveliness and depth to the maneuver. The first half flows at a pace that is not particularly high. Cosenza maintains possession of the ball and tries to build play, but Vibonese defends with order and allows little space.
Scoring opportunities were limited and the score remained 0-0 until half-time. However, the inertia of the match changed immediately in the second half. Wolves broke the deadlock with Pietro Ciotti, who scored the 1-0. The goal gives confidence to the rossoblù, who increase the intensity and quality of the maneuver. With the passing of the minutes and the usual round of substitutions, Cosenza grows on an athletic and technical level. Coppitelli’s team increases the pace and creates several opportunities. Achour put the seal on the victory with a brace that set the score at the final 3-0.
