Futsal Serie A KINTO: Sala Consilina, Benevento, L84 Torino, and Meta Catania Lead with Perfect Records
Following the second round of Futsal Serie A KINTO, four teams stand with perfect records. This mid-week fixture, the first of the season, delivered surprises, thrilling play, and a flood of goals, with 50 scored across seven matches – averaging over seven goals per game.
Big Match Decided After One Half
In a reversed fixture at San Rufo, the highly anticipated Campania derby was effectively decided in the first half. Sporting Sala Consilina held a one-goal lead, thanks to a powerful long-range strike from Foti, who had already scored against Pomezia. Feldi Eboli seemed to falter in the second half. The "Dragons" struck three times within four minutes early in the second period: Bueno converted a set-piece, Carlos Delmestre scored from outside the area, and Walex added another. The latter, a former Came player, sealed the 5-1 victory for the yellow-greens. Siddi's late goal for Eboli was a mere consolation.
Benevento Repeats Success, Close Wins for L84 Torino and Meta Catania
Rookie team Benevento secured another three-goal victory, winning in Padova. Pires opened and closed the scoring in their poker, with Caruso and Lamas also finding the net. Vinumitaly Petrarca's initial lead came from Lucacel. L84 Torino and Covei Meta Catania Bricocity achieved narrow wins. The reigning champions battled through a spectacular and emotional match against Sammichele, with 11 goals in total. Vander Salas put L84 ahead from a Fortini pass. However, Fatiguso and Dudu Taborda then turned the tide. Murilo Schiochet equalized for L84 before halftime. Rescia restarted the second half with a new lead for the black-and-greens, but Mohabz equalized. Terry and Salas pushed L84 ahead again, but top scorer Dudu Taborda (4 goals in 2 games) and Perri brought the score level once more at 5-5. Terry's goal with three minutes remaining proved decisive. At PalaCatania, Meta took more than a half to break down the Viterbo defense and beat a strong Ducci. Pulvirenti opened the scoring from an Albertico assist. Active Network responded strongly: Vinicius Calvanese had a close-range shot cleared off the line before scoring the equalizer from a free-kick during a red card situation for Alamikkotervo. Fitsa's late goal secured the 2-1 win for Meta.
Thrilling Draw in Pomezia
Pure adrenaline was on display in Pomezia. Cutrupi and Taborda gave Fortitudo an early lead. Napoli, coached by former player Angelini, fought back with goals from Bortoletto and Neves, even taking the lead through Pauleta. Lara and Matteus scored within 1:20 to overturn the score again. Turmena salvaged a point for Napoli with just over a minute left, resulting in a 4-4 draw.
Came and Roma Secure Dominant Wins
Came and Roma both registered their first wins. Came achieved a significant away victory in Avellino. Donin and Japa Vieira scored for Gulizia's team, with Grasso and Everton equalizing before Gargantini restored Came's lead before halftime. In the second half, aided by a red card for Galletto, Came extended their lead with two goals from André and one from Luizinho, closing the match at 6-2. Roma also had an impressive performance, not letting their early advantage slip against newcomers Defender Giovinazzo. Sacon, Seferi, Cainan, a brilliant strike from Fortino (MVP of the Sky Match), and Pina had Roma leading 5-0 by halftime. The second half was a formality, with Borolo making it 6-0. Fanfulla and Rezende scored consolation goals for Giovinazzo, before Cutruneo completed Roma's seven-goal tally.
