Twelve months later, the queen of the Cup remained the same: a goal from a free-kick by Leandro Cuzzolino with 2’50 ” from the end gave AcquaeSapone Unigross their second consecutive Italian Cup . Last year, the Abruzzese won in Pesaro; this time, however, it was the Italservice Pesaro that bowed down in an extraordinary PalaCattani .
Exceptional, the response from the public in Faenza: over 4,000 people filled the building on the final day of the event organized by the Five-a-side Football Divisionand sponsored by the Emilia-Romagna Region (at PalaCattani, also the president Stefano Bonaccini) and with the collaboration of the Emilia-Romagna Regional Committee of the National Amateur League (president Paolo Braiati present) and the Youth and School Sector of the FIGC (at PalaCattani with the regional coordinator Massimiliano Rizzello).

It was a very balanced final, the one between Italservice Pesaro and AcquaeSapone Unigross . When the epilogue to extra time seemed closer and closer, however, Leandro Cuzzolino’s punishment “pierced” the Pesaro barrier and slipped into Miarelli’s door , unleashing the joy of the many fans who arrived from Abruzzo.
