MILAN FUTURO LOSE TO AREZZO
Milan Futuro
Yet again, things didn't go our way. Milan Futuro have suffered another setback, losing 1-0 to Arezzo following a goal from Pattarello in the second half. It was a tight affair - something we've often seen in the past - but, unfortunately, there was another negative outcome, with the Rossoneri falling to their 17th defeat of the Serie C season. It wasn't a brilliant performance from the team, who created little but managed to contain the hosts. After falling behind, Milan Futuro tried to rescue something at the end of the match and found the net through Sia, but it was ruled out.
Coach Oddo's Rossoneri have to lick their wounds and keep their heads up during a very delicate period. The team haven't won since the start of February and remain deep in the relegation mire. After matchday 33 in Group B, Milan Futuro sit level with Legnago Salus on 24 points in the table ahead of the full conclusion of the latest round of fixtures. Now is the time to dig in, work, react; this is the only way. The team's next match will be against Campobasso at the Stadio Chinetti in Solbiate Arno at 15:00 CET on Saturday 29 March.

MATCH REPORT
The Rossoneri tried to make a quick start, with Coubis heading wide (6') and Magrassi firing off target with his left foot (7'). Arezzo grew into the game without causing any real problems. With Ianesi in the thick of the action, Bartesaghi (16' and 22') had two unsuccessful long-range attempts for the Rossoneri. In the 31st minute, Nava produced a brilliant save to turn behind a powerful effort from Renzi from the edge of the box. From the resulting corner, a backheel from Gilli didn't find the net. The hosts were pushing for the opener, with Dezi firing over after 38 minutes.
The second half kicked off, and the battles in all areas of the pitch nullified the goalmouth action. Chances were truly at a premium, with a lack of service for the two teams' attacking players. A flurry of substitutions initially didn't change the script, but then the Tuscans took a 73rd-minute lead: Pattarello went on a solo run and, from just over 20 yards out, let fly with an unstoppable left-footed strike. The Diavolo tried to respond, with Bartesaghi (77'), Quirini (82') and Branca (in stoppage time) failing to hit the target. Full-time.
