“We made history”: Futsal Pontedera celebrates promotion to A2

One at a time ride truly fantastic, Futsal Pontedera won the Serie B Group C Championship on Saturday 16 March with two days to spare, achieving at least a historic promotion to Serie A2. What was decisive was what added to this respect, which will remain written in the annals of society 3-2 win over Vigor Fucecchio.

With these three points, the Bianconeri actually moved to +10 on Futsal Prato, holding them 3-3 away from Futsal Sangiovannese, crowning a dream that finally turned into reality. At the PalaPonticelli in Santa Maria a Monte, in the opening stages of the match between Futsal Pontedera and Vigor Fucecchio, the importance of what was at stake became apparent, especially between Cerri and his teammates. Then, as the minutes ticked away, Mr. Sardelli's men broke away, took over the pitch and imposed their game.

A great shot from distance by Gningue broke the backheel that went behind Campinotti. In the second half, the Pontederesi increased their lead first with Della Marco (goal number 27 for him in the league) and then again with Gningue, both assisted by Maggini. At the end, with the move to A2 already on ice after the news of Lanieri's tie arrived from Prato and almost 7 minutes remaining, Mr. Sardelli gave space to all his called-ups to allow the team as a whole to be the main protagonist in a match that will remain in the hearts and minds of Futsal Pontedera fans and players for a long time.

Vigor Fucecchio closed the gap but it wasn't enough to stop the Bianconeri from celebrating another win of the year as the final siren sounded, sparking celebrations among the Pontederesi.
