An Azzi’s own goal and a splendid Russian inverted give the three points to the Campania. First seasonal defeat for Monza

Lorenzo Topello

12 September – 23:19 – MILAN

The first is an auto, the second is a candidate for arrogance at the goal of the year in Serie B. Two acutes of Avellino spread Monza: at Partenio he ends 2-1 for the bells that celebrate in the best way the return to Partenio in second series after seven years. And they do it by taking advantage of Azzi’s autogol and above all of Russo’s reversal, an exclamation point on Friday by Leoni dell’Avellino. Alvarez’s flicker in recovery is useless for guests. First victory for the Campania, the first knockout for the Brianzoli who wake up too late.

avellino ahead

The Avellino, after the peer of Modena, revolutionizes the offensive trident: with Insigne, the only one confirmed, here is the debut of Biasci and the chance for Crespi. Only green tickles instead for the attacking trio of the Brianzoli: there are Caprari, Galazzi and Mota. But the challenge does not take off: the only thrill of the first half hour is a (high) attempt by Caprari, but everything is stopped for offside. Avellino contains and hits the first true acute true in the mirror: minute 33, a punishment from the left finds the spit of Biasci and the subsequent flying deviation of Simic. But to beat Iannarilli is the last touch of Azzi that marks in the wrong door.

blackout and inverted

Ready-via and in the recovery Insigne flirts with the doubling, but the action that leads to his shot is vitiated by offside. And as soon as the offside is seen, curiously, the lights go out to the Partenio: a mini blackout of a hundred seconds. The light bulb seems to light up in Monza: at 57 ‘the first shot in the mirror would translate into Birindelli’s goal on the developments of a punishment, but the referee Pezzuto cancels for a previous foul in attack by Lucchesi. The guests ask Maric, Keita and Petagna for a spark, but they never see each other, while Avellino … doubles the second shot in the mirror. And it is a goal to scream: Raffaele Russo, unknows to the center of the area, decides that the most interesting way to conclude on a cross (deflected) from the right is to go inverted. Ball under the intersection, the Partenio delira: 2-0. Monza, after ninety minutes to doing, marks only in recovery: to halve the passive is Alvarez from under measure, after a first attempt by Petagna. But there is no more time: Avellino celebrates.
