Pro Recco beats Ortigia in flood of goals in Syracuse

February 2, 2020

The encounter between Ortigia and Pro Recco was in the spotlight this weekend in the Italian water polo league, not just because it was the clash between the league-leader and the team which was in 3rd place before 12th round. The match Ortigia – Pro Recco was the first in which Pro Recco’s legendary goalkeeper Stefano Tempesti played against his former club, after 16 seasons spent in Recco. Tempesti, who won 14 national titles and five Champions League with Pro Recco, moved to Ortigia last summer. But, his former team-mates had no mercy. Recco recorded an 18:12 victory.

Pro Recco needed less than three minutes to earn a 4:0 lead in the match against Ortigia, played in the outdoor pool in Syracuse. The hosts cut the deficit (2:4) and kept up with the favorites for a while.

In the middle of the second period, Ortigia trailed 4:6, but Vincenzo Renzuto scored two goals in a span of 64 seconds to give Pro Recco an 8:4 lead in the 12th minute of the game. Pro Recco jumped to a 12:6 advantage in the middle of the 3rd period and there was no way back for Ortigia. Almost all of Recco’s stars who played for their national teams at the European Championships traveled to Syracuse. Only Croatian goalkeeper Marko Bijac missed the match.

But, Lazio didn’t give up and responded with three straight goals to level the score (7:7) with 06:24 remaining on the clock. After that, there were no goals for a while. Only 32 seconds before the final buzzer, Roma’s Innocenzi converted a man-up for an 8:7 win.

Salerno and Savona shared the points – 10:10. Savona had a 2-goal advantage three times in the fourth quarter (8:6, 9:7, 10:8). Salerno saved a point with two power-player goals in the last 124 seconds.
