The second half saw Intinacelli enter the game in place of Sacko. COS then exploded into action,with Nurchi scoring a spectacular goal in the 30th minute,weaving through the defense before unleashing a powerful shot from the edge of the box.Just two minutes later, Marini added a sensational second, curling a left-footed effort under the crossbar.
