Miami Sharks News Release


In this crucial match, the Sharks faced a must-win situation to keep their playoff hopes alive. The game started strongly with an early penalty try in the 4th minute, setting the tone for a competitive matchup. Despite a balanced possession (50% Sharks) and territory (53% Anthem), our team demonstrated resilience, securing a significant win and crucial bonus point.

Toti Chioccarelli shared his insights on the game, emphasizing the challenges faced and the team's satisfaction with the result and performance:

English:

"We are very pleased with the game we played in Charlotte. For us, it was very important to win and win with a bonus point, so we are very satisfied with the result and, honestly, also with the aspects of our game. We had very good options both in defense and in our offensive play; there were very good things, and obviously, it helped us a lot to gain confidence for the upcoming match. We are also very happy about the return of Reinaldo Piuci and Manuel Ardau, who rejoined the team. Now we are thinking about what's next, which is our first final against OLD GLORY in Miami, preparing ourselves in the best way to deliver a great performance on Saturday."
