COPENAGHEN (DANIMARCA) (ITALPRESS) – And now, unless miracles, the play-offs remain. The game was not enough, the courage and not even the personality shown in front of the 12 thousand spectators at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen: Andrea Soncin’s Italy fails to break the opposing wall and go beyond 0-0 with Denmark, which draws a breath of relief remaining alone in the leadership of the World Cup qualifying group.
The crossing hit by Soffia in the first time and the domination of the shoot leave the bitter in the mouth of the group, which now sees the possibility to get the direct pass for the tournament iridato. Everything will be decided in the last two races scheduled on 6 and 9 June against Serbia and Sweden: a double success would allow the National to hope again in the miracle, if not to fly in Brazil you will have to overcome the pitfalls of the double play-off end of the year.
“This is a result that does not repay the excellent performance of the girls – said Soncin – we saw only one team in the field, we had an almost total domain, creating so much and managing the rhythms of the race. I’m happy with the express game, but it’s still very regretful that I couldn’t unlock it.”.
The first of the regrets to the 27′ when Cantore, released from the filter of Dragons, presents itself in front of the goalkeeper, however, not able to impact the ball well, deviated in the corner from Sorensen. On the corner also comes a second big chance, this time on the feet of Soffia, which pulls first from outside area centering in full the cross. At 69′ is again the paired Giugliano in Campania-Caruso to create a perch on the developments of yet another football place, but the conclusion from excellent position of the midfielder of the Bayer ends up a couple of meters high, making to disperse all the Italian bench.
At about 15′ from the triple whistle end Soncin inserts Beccari for the excellent Dragons, soon after it is instead Greggi to take the place of the very tired Cantor. The final siege, carried forward with courage, many crosses and also a punishment from the limit kicked on the barrier by Girelli, does not result in the hoped effect.
To celebrate is Denmark, aware of conquering a point – probably undeserved given the trend of the match – very precious for the fly towards the World Championship.
The Danes command the group with 8 points, according to Sweden at 7 after defeating Serbia (1-0) and third blue at 5.
