La Fiorita overwhelmed Cosmos 6-1, leapfrogging Pennarossa into second place. In the rescheduled match of matchday nine in the San Marino futsal championship, the Montegiardino side secured their seventh win in eight matches and remain the only unbeaten team in the tournament.
The result allowed the yellow-and-blues to capitalize on a slip-up by the Chiesanuova side, moving ahead of Murata, against whom they have played one game fewer.
Ercolani broke the deadlock in the 7th minute. La Fiorita then extended their lead through Pasqualini and a brace from Matteo Chezzi, scoring between the 21st and 24th minutes. Cosmos pulled one back in first-half stoppage time through Bacciocchi, leaving the score at 4-1 at the break.
In the second half, the Serravalle side were further hampered by a numerical disadvantage: Cupi was sent off for a second booking midway through the half, with the score still at 4-1. Pellegrini and Ercolani then rounded off La Fiorita’s victory, settling the final score at 6-1.
For Cosmos, it was a second consecutive defeat. Salvatore Franchino’s side must now keep an eye on Folgore and Juvenes Dogana, who are closing the gap in the standings.
