1-1 halftime. Viviani converted a pk for them. Good, fast-paced match. And the teams look about even. All 3 of our new signings, that I bolded above, started. Ashong, I'm not so impressed with yet. Gave the ball away too cheaply on several occasions. Rozzio has looked pretty good. Got a yellow card late in the half. Campanharo had the goal. Perfectly place while running right to left in across goal face.
Jackson sent off 30 seconds after the goal for a really stupid foul. Think De Rossi versus the USA in WC2006.
We win 2-3. I thought the sides were pretty even but Roma had many more, and better, clear scoring chances. Hats off to our 16-year-old keep Luca Lezzerini!

The Primavera started its season today with a 1-0 victory over Juventus. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28uYkEG0-Rg"]10-09-11 Primavera Fiore Juve 1 0.mp4 - YouTube[/ame] Frankly, Babacar is just too good to be playing at this level. He's a man among boys.
Four Viola called up to the Italian U17 including Lezzerini (GK) who is looking more like a prodigy every day. Luca Lezzerini, Saverio Madrigali, Leonardo Capezzi and Nicolò Fazzi
Acosty, our captain and maybe the best player in Italy at the Primavera level, has been suspended 6 matches (through November 21) for landing an elbow against Genoa last week and the subsequent argument with the referee.
I thought that Seculin and Di Tacchio both looked very good for Juve Stabia today against Torino. Torino won 1-0 through an 80' Bianchi header.

Despite this weekend's 1-0 Primavera loss away to Torino, our Primavera, Allievi and Giovanissimi squads are all in first place.
We got past Inter on PKs (the match ended 0-0) and advance to face Varese in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia Primavera.
We beat Varese 1-3 in the first leg of our Coppa Italia Primavera away/home. Goals Matos Acosty Panatti Acosty was MotM
