How did Brescia secure the opening goal at Stadio Rigamonti?
Brescia broke the deadlock in the 10th minute of the first half. Crespi capitalized on an assist from Boci along the left flank, slipped past defender Van Koeverden, and lifted a precise lob over goalkeeper Livieri to put the hosts ahead. eusebiano.it noted that the early strike forced Pro Vercelli into a reactive posture for the remainder of the half.
Pro Vercelli struggled to mount sustained offensive pressure against a resolute Brescia backline. Iotti registered the visitors’ first genuine scoring opportunity in the 20th minute with a long-range right-footed drive that Brescia goalkeeper Zacchi tipped around the post for a corner. Despite intermittent sorties from the away side, Brescia maintained total territorial control through the opening forty-five minutes.
What tactical adjustments did both managers make after halftime?
Neither side made personnel changes ahead of the second half, but Brescia resumed their high-pressing approach immediately. Livieri was forced into several saves to deny persistent attempts from Crespi and Rizzo Pinna as the home side kept the pressure pinned in Pro Vercelli’s half. In the 59th minute, Pro Vercelli made a triple substitution, introducing Carosso, Ciammaglichella, and Sow in place of Pagliari, Boufandar, and Rutigliano. Moments later, Brescia countered by sending on Frigerio and De Maria for Mallamo and Balestrero.
Carosso marked his 100th appearance for Pro Vercelli during the second period, earning praise as a true stalwart of the squad. The visitors showed increased enterprise following the tactical changes, with Carosso testing Zacchi via a half-volley in the 67th minute, though the referee whistled the play dead for an earlier attacking foul.
When did Emanuele Pellegrini seal the victory for Brescia?
Brescia extinguished any hopes of a late Pro Vercelli comeback in the 75th minute. Following a double change that introduced Lamesta and Pellegrini for Rizzo Pinna and Spagnoli, Pellegrini struck just one minute after stepping onto the pitch. Receiving a feed from Crespi just inside the area, Pellegrini skipped past Coccolo and fired a precise, mid-height shot into the right corner past a helpless Livieri to make it 2-0.
Zacchi preserved the clean sheet in the closing stages by turning away subsequent efforts from Sow and Iotti. After four minutes of stoppage time, the final whistle confirmed a comprehensive defeat for the visiting side, leaving Pro Vercelli unable to match Brescia’s sustained tempo.
