F***ing defensemen. 1-1 draw.

Ragusa adds a goal just before halftime, so we lead 2-1. After half-time, Nick Esposito scores his first goal of the season, a ridiculous volley from the semi-circle atop the box. Giulio Ponte adds a goal from almost the same spot, and the final is Real Marcianise win, 4-1.
