Trino Weekly #03
Trino claimed their first league win of the season on Sunday, beating Union Novara 2–1 at San Pietro Mosezzo in a hard-fought second-round Promozione fixture. Cristian Spinoglio’s side took the lead after 17 minutes through captain João Gabriel Brugnera, who found the net from a free-kick. Union responded through Federici on the half-hour, but Trino regained the advantage shortly before the interval, with Ciraulo converting another set piece to make it 2–1. The score remained unchanged after the break, giving Trino three important points after the opening-day defeat.
It was also a memorable weekend at the Roberto Picco, where the second edition of the Risò International Cup brought together 24 Under-12 teams from Italy and across Europe. Two days of football ended with Pozzomaina taking first place, but the tournament once again went well beyond the final standings, bringing players, coaches and families together in an atmosphere shaped by friendship and fair play.
There was more good news for the Under 19s. Trino won 2–0 away to Diavoletti Calcio Vercelli at the Bozino, with Marco Cassetta scoring both goals. The result takes the biancoblu to six points and the top of Group 8 at the end of the first half of the play-in campaign.
The week ahead.
The Under 19s begin the return half of their play-in group on Saturday, 19 September, when they host Livorno Ferraris Bianzè on the Tavano synthetic pitch. The first meeting between the sides ended in a 3–1 away win for Trino, and the next three fixtures will decide who progresses to the next stage of the regional competition.
On Sunday, 20 September, the senior side returns to the Roberto Picco for the third round of the Promozione season. Valle Cervo San Lorenzo are the visitors, with kick-off at 3.30pm. After collecting their first three points at Union Novara, Trino will be looking to build on that result in front of their home crowd. Spinoglio has already made clear what he expects: another demanding afternoon.
