Palermo already rose to third place in Serie B when they beat Bari 3–0 away.
However, direct promotion is only reserved for the top two in the series, so the Sicilians still have a lot to do. Venezia, who played less in the match, has three more points in second place.
Bari eventually fell to two early second period hits that came just ten minutes apart. The latter of them was finished Joel Pohjanpalowhich at the same time strengthened its position at the top of the Serie B goal exchange.
The Finn has already scored 13 times this season.
The Italian newspaper Gazzetto dello Sport described Pohjanpalo’s hit as “Playstation level”, but unfortunately he was injured in the same connection.
Apparently, Pohjanpalo landed on the surface of the grass in a bad position after his header and hurt his back in the situation. The head coach Filippo Inzaghi took the star striker on as a replacement shortly after the hit.
Palermo bag Jesse Joronen got off easy because Bari didn’t get a single shot on the goal he was guarding.
