Is Alessandia’s fairy tail goes to an end?

Alessandria are currently playing at Lega Pro A, which is a part of the third level of the Italian football. The Greys are playing well in the third division, having collected 35 points of 19 matches. But the most impressive thing about the club is that Alessandria went to the semi-finals of The Coppa Italia, and are still not eliminated! The third-division club still has its chances to qualify for the final, even though Alessandria lost the first leg of the semi-final 0-1 to Milan.
But how did Alessandria progress to the semi-finals in the tournament? The Greys started from the very first round of The Coppa Italia. They had to play against the Seria D side – Alto Vicentino (fifth division). Alessandria had no troubles, beating 2-0 the team from a lower division. 24-year-old Manuel Fischnaller opened the scoresheet in the 3rd minute of the game. Then in the 7th minute, Loviso doubled their lead.
Just a week later, Alessandria had to visit Pro Vercelli (Seria B) in the second round of the tournament. That was the first real test for the Angelo Gregucci’s lads. And again Fischnaller found the net for The Greys in the first half of the game. Pro Vercelli equalized by Ardizzone in the 36th minute, but Mezavilla bagged a goal for Alessandria 30 minutes before the final whistle.
Then, Alessandria beat 1-0 Juve Stabia at home. Loviso scored the only goal of the game. And that was the easiest part of the task for The Greys. In the fourth round they had to visit the Seria A side Palermo. Everybody believed that Alessandria can’t win the match, but the coach Gregucci didn’t think so. Loviso scored from the penalty spot early in the game to give Alessandria lead. Then Marconi and Nicco scored and surprised Palermo at Stadio Renzo Barbera.
The Greys visited Genoa in the 8th finals of the Cup. And the Seria A side were lucky to reach the extra time of the game, after equalizing in the last seconds of the match. But, in the 114th minute the substitute Bocalon, who is ex Inter Player, found the net after sensational one-two passing. If you think that’s a dramatic match, you will have to hear about the quarter final against Spezia (away). The host team took the lead in the 20th minute and Bocalon had to come from the bench again to help his teammates. He stepped on the field in the 70th minute and 13 minutes later he scored! Then he did it again in the very last seconds of the match.
In the first leg of the semi-finals Alessandria lost 0-1 to Milan at home, but The Greys should have lost by more goals, so they still have their chances to go through the final match. If Milan underestimate them, Alessandria will surely knock out The Rossoneri.
