CHIESANUOVA, San Marino (Interstat) — Pennarossa and San Giovanni played to a 2-2 draw Friday in a club football match that featured two early goals, a second-half lead and a stoppage-time equalizer. San Giovanni struck first but could not hold its advantage, and Pennarossa answered late to split the points. Both teams finished with two goals, and San Giovanni played the final stretch a man down after a first-half red card. The result added another tight chapter to a season in which neither side has yet found a win in this competition.

The scoring began in the 10th minute when San Giovanni’s Lorenzo D Orsi found the net. Pennarossa answered almost immediately, with Giuliano Guida scoring in the 11th minute to level the match.

The first half then settled into a tighter contest after San Giovanni’s Zanni M. was sent off in the 34th minute, leaving the visitors to manage the remainder of the match with 10 players.

The red card forced San Giovanni to adjust its shape for more than half the match. Zanni M.’s dismissal in the 34th minute came with the score level at 1-1. San Giovanni still moved back in front after halftime, but the numerical disadvantage left it vulnerable late. Pennarossa pushed numbers forward as time wound down, and the equalizer arrived in the first minute of stoppage time.

San Giovanni regained the lead in the 50th minute through Simone Osmani. The visitors protected that advantage deep into the second half and into stoppage time, but Pennarossa’s Marseljan Mema scored in the 90th minute plus one to force the draw. Mema’s late goal completed the scoring and denied San Giovanni a victory on the road. The final whistle followed shortly after the goal, leaving both teams with a share of the points.
