sprint start

A lively start, with great chances on both sides. Mignani’s team close to the lead after 5 ‘: Folorunsho serves Antenucci from the right, the attacker from Molise misses the appointment with the network a stone’s throw from the line. A turn of the clock and it’s up to the rosanero, who respond with Elia’s right, after a rebound in the small area: Caprile deflects for a corner. At the quarter of an hour it is Palermo again: Broh’s progression on the right and cross in the middle for Floriano, who does not find the coordination for the right on the fly. The Apulians grow with the passing of the minutes: at 18 ‘the right foot goes out on a free kick by Folorunsho, three minutes later Pigliacelli responds to Ricci’s left. Danger for the rosanero also in the 34th minute: Botta’s throw for Cheddira, who returns and frees the right.

Key episode 5 ‘from the end: Cheddira, launched at the net, is spread by Marconi on the edge of the area. Camplone draws the yellow card, but when recalled to the Var he changes his decision: red card for the defender and Palermo in 10. At 89 ‘the last real thrill of the match: Maiello spikes in the area for an irrepressible Cheddira, the attacker’s left finds the gloves of the usually Pigliacelli. In the six minutes of injury time, the 1-1 draw resists.
