The Ukrainian strikes again – third goals in two games – but is not enough, because the two expulsions allow the hosts to reopen the race until the final success
On Friday from Leoni dell’Empoli it lasts 42 minutes. Then two expulsions in an amen and the logical return of Reggiana who wins 3-1. Pagliuca’s team comes out of Mapei, reassembled despite the third goal (in two games) of the Popov jewel. The amaranth of Dionigi, on the other hand, take their revenge in one fell swoop after the defeat in the first round of the Italian Cup and the first three points of their championship.
Popov fairytale
–
Dionigi confirms the 3-4-2-1 with the Portanova-Tavsan couple behind the only tip Gondo, while in the Tuscans, the disqualification disposed of, here is Guarino in the control room: forward, for Pagliuca, Ilie and Popov. First guest ring in the 6th minute when Guarino impacts weakly on corner, all easy for Motta. Empoli, however, hits shortly after with Popov: the 2007 class triggers vertically to launch on the invitation of Ignacchiti and evades the exit of Motta with a surgical touch. It was from 2011-12 that an Azzurri striker (in that case was Ciccio Tavano) did not mark in the first two days of Serie B.
Two reds and the same
–
Reggiana Carbura slowly, but when she shows up in the area she gives a jolt to the game: 42 ‘, Guarino holds up in the area, a penalty kick for the Emilians with yellow in the Tuscan midfielder. But Dionysius and his are furious for the missing red for interruption of a clear goal opportunity, and the referee Sacchi, after revision at the Var, expels Guarino. Gondo, from the spot, displaces Fulignati: 1-1. As sensational as it happens in the recovery of first half: another red at Empoli, this time it makes the Obaretin expenses that hinders the last man gondo at the edge of the area. The Tuscans go to nine rest.
overtaking Reggiana

In the second half the Reggiana instead begins the siege by gradually raising the pressure. And he makes Jackpot with a little bit of luck at the 57th minute with the shot from outside of Reinhart deflected by the ex -shift ignacchiti. To touch the Tris are Portanova and Marras, but Fulignati deflated. Empoli can only respond on the inactive ball and at 72 ‘would earn a penalty for the forty wide arm, but bags, recalled to the Var, erases it for a previous push in attack by Ignacchiti. They are the sliding doors of the challenge: Marras takes off on the counterattack in the 79th minute and offers a chocolate in Portanova who centrally holes Fulignati, 3-1. Festa Reggiana ends like this.
