Daring draw in the big match between Monza and Frosinone, the Venetians take advantage of it. Victories for Carrarese, Mantua and Sudtirol
Everything happens in the big match between Monza and Frosinone. The yellow-blues took the lead at the start of the match with a very fast counterattack from the usual Ghedjemis, then Hernani scored the equalizer on his debut as a starter with the new shirt. At the U-Power Stadium, however, it was an incredible finale: in the 74th minute Petagna turned it around, the guests were left with ten men for Kone’s red. It seems over, but in the 88th minute Captain Monterisi saves his team with a perfect header from Calò’s corner. Alvini’s team achieved their twelfth consecutive useful result (unbeaten since 18 October) and defended the top of the table with 42 points. Bianco’s men, former players of the match, remain third at 38. For the red and whites it is a wasted opportunity.
