Empoli-Reggiana 4-1 (1-1 at 90 ‘)
–
Against Reggiana, Empoli asserts cold blood from eleven meters and detaches the pass for the second round of the Italian Cup Frecciarossa. At Castellani he ends 1-1 in the regulatory time: the Emiliano di Gondo advantage replies ilie (who in the first half had failed from the spot) ten minutes from the end, referring everything to the penalty lottery. The blues do not tremble from the spot: Belardinelli, Elia and Busiello scored with surgical precision, while Fulignati stands for the hero of the evening by neutralizing the conclusions of Gondo and Marras, for the Reggiana he also misses Rover. Final: 4-1 to penalties and qualifying in safe for Tuscan training. Now for Pagliuca’s team the challenge will be with the winner of Genoa-Vicenza, scheduled at 9.15 pm.
Sassuolo-Catanzaro 1-0
–
Sassuolo celebrates the presence number 400 in Neroverde by Domenico Berardi giving himself the 16th of the Italian Cup. The Calabrian striker wears the Doig left at the half hour of the first half, allowing Fabio Grosso’s team to overcome Catanzaro. Well organized, in the race until the end, but not productive enough in the offensive phase: only one shot on goal in the first 45 ‘, a Pontisso pole at the time of play for the Calabrians. The hosts, however, before and after the goal that breaks the balance, waste several chances with Laurientè as well as with Fadera, and then again with Doig and with Berardi and Volpato, legitimizing the victory that delivers, in September, the winner of Como-Suditirol.
