Milan Futuro earned a share of the spoils from their away game against Pontedera this evening, and they have Noah Raveyre to thank.
As a reminder, the Futuro suffered yet another defeat earlier in the week in what has been a difficult debut season for them in the league, losing 2-0 to Pineto at home on Wednesday to continue the relegation fears.
This time around, there was a familiar pattern as the Rossoneri tried to take control of the game from the first minute with possession, but they struggled to get a shot on goal or convert their few half-chances.
The result was that in the 27th minute the home team scored through Italeng following a mistake by Davide Bartesaghi. However, Alex Jimenez took matters into his own hands and equalised almost immediately with a great goal, later coming close to doubling his tally.
In the second half Silvano Cos failed to convert a one-on-one opportunity just before the hour mark, and then the home side got a penalty as D’Alessio committed a naive challenge. However, Raveyre bailed the full-back out by stopping Ianesi’s spot kick.
A hard-earned point was the result, as well as being able to jump out of the bottom three for the time being.
