Lorenzo Vigiani sends Pianese through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Lorenzo Vigiani obliged against Torres. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Pianese.

8 saves: Emiliano Filippis was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

A falling-out at Pianese
Simone Ianesi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Francesco Proietto falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
The terraces28 Sep 2026
The crowd has taken to Lorenzo Vigiani
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Lautaro Taboada gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match26 Sep 2026
Pianese come up short against Latina
Latina left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Lorenzo Vigiani was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.21. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Umberto Casella answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
