Strong First Start for Barbieri in Derby Draw

The young defender Iacopo Barbieri made his first start for Centese in the 1-1 derby draw against Casumaro on matchday 24 of Promozione Girone C. Deployed at the heart of the defense, the 2006-born center back delivered a composed and mature performance on a heavy, rain-soaked pitch. After conceding early, Centese reacted in the second half to secure a point that keeps them in second place in the standings. Centese president Alberto Fava praised him after the match: “He was making his first start, and he put in a sumptuous performance at the center of defense; he’s a very capable lad.”
