“Some silly mistakes in the clutch time” was the description of coach Graziosi to explain that Ortona eventually won 3-1 despite the fact Potenza played well in what was a very tight encounter. Ortona was led by Michalovic, who scored 27, while Potenza was without Casoli who should be back on time for the start of the league season. “We did what we had worked on in the past few days – said coach Graziosi – Unfortunately, we cannot play 6 on 6 in training because of the injuries, we need games and on Saturday Ortona will return the favour by coming over”.
