The Sorrento Courier
Match23 Sep 2026
Sorrento bow out of the cup
Potenza go through and Sorrento go home, 3‑4 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

A 3-goal lead gone for Sorrento
It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Potenza kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Sorrento will be asked about the last half hour all week.

A brace, and Francesco Bellone takes the afternoon — 8.04
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Francesco Bellone provided it, and the 8.04 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Nobody could get near Simone Cangianiello
Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Sorrento
Luca Crecco was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The crowd has taken to Francesco Bellone
At 18 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 manager makes an example of Denis Portanova
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The afternoon belonged to Marco Cuccurullo
7.95, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Sorrento had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Words at Sorrento training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vincenzo Di Somma is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
