2025 ended last Sunday for most of the First Category and Promotion clubs, with the exception of three survivors in the Cup: the Fidenza and the Solignano they were involved in the round of 16 of the First Category Emilia Cupagainst Borgonovese and Viadana respectively, while the Futura Fornovo Medesano faced Castellana Fontana in the round of 16 Memorial Minetti.
The final verdicts see two Prima teams from Parma who will play the match valid for the quarter-finals on February 11th.
MINETTI CUP – The team’s journey ends with a narrow defeat (1-0). Futura Fornovo Medesanoholder of the title, who lost on the Castellana Fontana pitch due to a goal by Davide Rossi at the start of the second half. Mister Tagliafierro’s team says goodbye to the competition, which will now continue without any Parma club in play, and from January they will be able to concentrate totally on the championship.
EMILIA CUP – Fly to the quarter-finals Solignano who beat Viadana 3-1 at home, going ahead on the blue and white pitch before drawing with Dellanzo. Then, the Valtaresi took over the second half and Rinaldi’s brace allowed his team to get through to the next round, but above all to start the new year fighting in two competitions.
The 0-0 between Borgonovese and Fidenza forced, after 90 minutes of struggle, to compete for the next round in the eleven meter series. And thanks to a super Bisalti, who saves three penalties, the bainconeri (in their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Cup) also get the pass: Taddei’s decisive penalty allows Mister Corradi’s boys to eliminate the Piacenza team, who are +1 behind them in the championship and who after today’s defeat will certainly want revenge in the match of the return round of the First Category.
