At Ferraris the message is clear, exhibited in a banner in the steps: “Manfredi, competent managers and enough failures”, in the hope of maintaining the category. In Genoa the first leg of the Serie B playout is played, postponed by one month after the Brescia case. Evani’s Samp wins 2-0 with Salernitana, thanks to a goal in time. He opens Meulesteen of Head (decisive already in the championship challenge in May) and closes a paw of Curto with a handful of minutes from the end. Everything will decide next Friday at the Arechi: Samp will have to keep the double advantage, while at Salernitana it will be necessary to win with two goals and a very different performance from that of tonight. In the event of a tie at the end of the double challenge, Marino’s team will emerge, called to overturn the speech. In Genoa, meanwhile, he ends up among the applause of the home audience: the first big step towards salvation takes Sampdoria, an appointment in five days in Salerno.

First half

At the start, Samp takes everything, eager to exploit the occasion of the foiled relegation and try to stay in B. Evani in front relies on a tail and Sibilli, good at building the first two occasions of the match. Especially the second, with the number 33 that sends the guest defense to the bar with a fake but then it clearly kicks to the side. Sibilli still tries at the 24th minute: the attacker gets rid of the area and kicks of power, finding a great response from Christensen to tell him no. And if in the last confrontation a paw of Meuleslesteen had been decisive, at the beginning of May, the same happens tonight. At 39 ‘it is still the Dutchman who and the game. Corner kick, Ferrari puts it back in the middle with a large bank and finds the blonde head of the 17th, which is not wrong. Samp leads to the interval.

The recovery

In the second half the rhythm is decidedly different. Salernitana tries to be seen with Simy and advances without being able to create great dangers. Indeed, the most clear chance happens to Samp, still with Sibilli. Again, however, the number 33 wastes and kicks high. In the hosts, then, the goalkeeper changes: Cragno hurts and comes out among the applause, inside Ghidotti. But Salernitana struggles to collect opportunities. And at 5 ‘from the end here is also the blow of the knockout: punishment from the left of Sampdoria, the guest defense does not leave well and in the right place at the right time he finds himself Marco Curto, who entered the bench and bird of prey in signing the 2-0 point. Ferraris in delirium. In the end there is also room for two red cards, one on each side: in the recovery he expelled first Borini and then Stojanovic.
