La Curva sing "noi vogliamo questa vittoria", which is true, we really did NEED/WANT a win especially on the back of 4 straight defeats, albeit against tough opposition- Juve, Inter, Palermo and Napoli.
The first 45 minutes saw few chances for either side. Siena with the lion's share of possesion. Reggi's Bernardo Corradi ("city reject"- I hope he heard me) looked very isolated up front. But Siena had the same old problem...(again!) 'Big Mac' Maccarone and Kharja just not producing the goods up front, great build-up play with some superb passing but seriously lacking in the final third. Our biggest threat came from Colombian Juan Camilo Zuniga (right back) who made some devastating runs down the right wing- definately one to keep an eye out for...
Then came the to-be-expected subsitution 'Super Mario' Frick on for Macca in the 58th minute. He has an immediate impact, 15 minutes later pure elation and the deadlock is broken. Frick drives a low shot past the Reggi keeper. Another hard fought 1-0 win, fourth of the season. Credit to the the back four, above all Portanova. They all put in a brilliant performance.
Siena lift themselves to 14th on 22 points thanks to their Liechtenstein international. Giampaolo are ya listening? BUY ANOTHER STRIKER! Another very important game at home to Atalanta next Sunday- let's hope Macca can behave himselft this time and not see red like he did the last time he played against the Bergamese.
My m.o.m. has to be Manitta as he made some crucial saves and filled in for Curci admirably.
