Tre Penne edged past Giovani/Dogana 2:1 in the Coppa Titano Round of 16 on Monday evening. The result keeps their cup campaign alive after a hard-fought ninety minutes. By then, the tie had already been decided.
Borghini opened the scoring just before half-time, catching the defence off-guard. He found space in the box and finished cleanly at the 44th minute. Tre Penne led into the break, though the visitors were not far behind.
Casadio equalised early in the second half, pulling his side level at 66 minutes. The momentum shifted quickly, and Giovani/Dogana thought they had rescued a point. Then Ruiz stepped in to change everything.
His strike arrived in the 81st minute, a moment that took the game away from the visitors. The goal came late enough to leave little time for a response. To be fair, the hosts had to hold their nerve, but they did not let the tie slip.
Tre Penne now advance to the quarter-finals, where they will face whoever emerges from the other fixture. The win extends their recent run of results, following victories over Cosmos and San Giovanni. Giovani/Dogana's campaign comes to an end after a narrow defeat.
