Brescia Advance In The Italian Cup

Captain Daniele Gastaldello led Brescia to victory in the Italian Cup

---

Brescia 3 - 0 Monopoli

Heading into their first competitive fixture of the 2018/19 season, Brescia were strong favourites to defeat Serie C side Monopoli.

Alessandro Martinelli scored in just the sixth minute for the home side, hitting a nice low strike from outside the box. This was followed up halfway through the first half by captain Daniele Gastaldello who headed home a Felipe Curcio corner to double the advantage.

Only two minutes later, striker Alfredo Donnarumma scored again for Brescia, getting on the end of a Ales Mateju cross to increase the lead even further. The match saw very little action in the second half with the home team cruising to a 3-0 victory.

In other second qualifying round matches, several surprises occurred in the early rounds with Serie B sides Venezia, Palermo, Benevento, Carpi, Foggia, Padova, Hellas Verona and Spezia all being eliminated by Serie C sides.

Brescia will now go on to face Serie A side Udinese in a match which the Rondinelle are expected to be heavy underdogs.

Cup Shock As Brescia Beat Udinese

Alfredo Donnarumma celebrates after scoring against Udinese

Brescia 2 - 1 Udinese

Brescia have qualified for the fourth qualifying round of the Italian Cup after upsetting Serie A side Udinese.

Alfredo Donnarumma made the breakthrough for Brescia after being played through by Felipe Curcio, finishing a one on one against Udinese keeper Nicolas. Ernesto Torregrossa then struck home a Leonardo Morosini cross to increase the lead for the underdogs. Heading into the halftime break, Brescia held an incredible 2-0 lead over the Serie A side Udinese.

Udinese came out looking a different side in the second half, Rodrigo De Paul scoring a well struck free kick in the 54th minute to get the home side back in the game. Brescia found themselves on the backfoot for the rest of the half but managed to hold on through some desperate defence to seal the victory.

Despite this incredible upset, there were even biggest upsets around the country in other matches with Serie A sides Torino, Parma and Cagliari all being eliminated by sides two divisions below them.

Brescia have drawn Serie B side Pescara in the Fourth Qualifying Round of the Italian Cup in a home fixture to be played in December.

Justice: I guess I lived up to your expectations haha

ScottT: Even better result now, still learning the players throughout the club though so we shall see what they have in store for me

Jack: Thank you Jack, hope to catch you on chat soon

mgriffin2012: I am always more worried about sides from divisions below than regular games
