Futsal Serie A KINTO: Sala Consilina, Benevento, L84 Torino, and Meta Catania Lead with Perfect Scores
Four teams stand at the top of Serie A KINTO after the second matchday. This midweek round, the first of the season, delivered surprises, excitement, and a flurry of goals. A total of 50 goals were scored across the seven games, averaging over seven per match.
The Big Match: One Half of Action
In San Rufo, the anticipated Campania derby was effectively decided in one half. Sporting Sala Consilina held a one-goal lead at the break, thanks to a long-range strike from Foti, who had also scored against Pomezia. Feldi Eboli seemed to disappear in the second half as the Dragons scored three times in four minutes. Bueno converted a set-piece play from Igor, Carlos Delmestre added another from outside the box, and Walex sealed the dominance. The former Came player put the exclamation point on the yellow-greens' performance. Siddi's late goal for Eboli was merely a footnote in a decisive 5-1 victory.
Benevento Does It Again
Newly promoted Benevento secured another win by a three-goal margin, defeating Vinumitaly Petrarca in Padova. Pires opened and closed the scoring for Benevento, with Caruso and Lamas also finding the net. Lucacel's early goal for Petrarca was just a brief moment of hope. L84 Torino and Covei Meta Catania Bricocity both achieved narrow victories. The reigning champions battled to a win in Sammichele in a high-scoring, dramatic contest featuring 11 goals. Vander Salas put L84 ahead from a Fortini pass. However, Fatiguso and Dudu Taborda then turned the score around. Murilo Schiochet leveled at 2-2 after a play involving Vander Salas. Rescia put L84 back in front early in the second half, but Mohabz equalized. Terry and Salas pushed L84 ahead again, but Dudu Taborda (now with 4 goals in 2 games) and Perri brought the champions level at 5-5. Terry scored the decisive goal with 3 minutes remaining.
Meanwhile, at PalaCatania, Meta Catania took over a half to break through the Viterbese defense and beat a strong Ducci in goal. Pulvirenti scored from an Albertico assist, but 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 numerical advantage following a red card to Alamikkotervo. Fitsa secured the 2-1 win for Meta Catania late in the game.
A Wild Draw
Pure adrenaline flowed in Pomezia. Cutrupi and Taborda gave Fortitudo the lead, but Napoli, under former coach Angelini, fought back with goals from Bortoletto and Neves, even taking the lead through Pauleta. Lara and Matteus then completed another turnaround within 1 minute and 20 seconds. Turmena salvaged a point for Napoli with just 1:08 remaining, resulting in a 4-4 draw.
Big Win and a Seven-Goal Haul
Came and Roma secured their first wins of the season. Came achieved a significant away victory in Avellino. Donin and Japa Vieira scored for the Treviso team, with Grasso and Everton equalizing before Gargantini restored the lead before halftime. In the second half, with Avellino reduced to ten men after Galletto's red card, Came extended their lead with two goals from André and one from Luizinho, finishing 6-2. Roma also had a dominant performance under coach Reali. Unlike Torino, they left no room for the promoted Defender Giovinazzo. Sacon, Seferi, Cainan, a brilliant strike from Fortino (MVP of the Sky Match), and Pina had Roma up 5-0 by halftime. The second half was a formality as Borolo made it 6-0, with Fanfulla and Rezende scoring consolations for the home side. Cutruneo completed the 7-2 rout for Roma.
