Accademia SPAL Femminile won the Coppa Eccellenza regional trophy!

The Accademia SPAL Femminile writes a page in the club's history, winning the Coppa Eccellenza Emilia Romagna trophy for the first time in its history!

In the final against Felino, played at the "Vicini" Stadium in Savignano sul Panaro (MO), the biancazzurre won 3-1 at the end of an exciting challenge that ended in extra time.

Coach Salvatore Panico's team started off strong and after a quarter of an hour found the goal of the lead with Tinelli, who bagged a loose ball after a corner kick taken from the right, but at the half-hour mark, again on a corner, Felino found the equalizer with Calloni's tap-in under goal.

The biancazzurre did not flinch and immediately tried to react, touching the new lead with Tinelli on Barison's cross, while in the recovery of the first fraction Fratini flew on the left and just before entering the penalty area she was foully landed by Soncini, who was sent off by the match director.

In the second half the Accademia SPAL maintained control of the match but, despite the numerical superiority, the opponents defended with order. In full extra time comes the biggest chance to close the match: Fratini serves at the edge of the small area Hassanaine, but the conclusion of the biancazzurra is rejected by Merseglia.

The final continued into extra time and in the 98th minute Felino came very close to scoring the winning goal with the post hit by the red-blue Lombardi, but it was the SPAL Academy that found the 2-1 goal with Hassanaine, who this time did not miss and bagged the winning goal.

In the final seconds of the match, finally, comes also the third goal of the biancazzurre with Fratini that finally closes the match and makes explode with joy all the SPAL team present at the "Vicini" of Savignano sul Panaro.

The biancazzurre thus access the national stage, to which all the winners of the regional competitions qualify, to play for another chance of promotion to the Serie C.
