Bari-Modena 1-1

—

The first half at San Nicola is blocked. In the 20th minute, Maiello hurts himself after a tackle and leaves in tears. The guests try to make themselves dangerous with Palumbo who shoots from distance and challenges Brenno. Little happens until half-time, when Cotali slides ahead of Sibilli and prevents the home team from taking the lead. Following the development of the corner, Koutsoupias hits a header and it is the red and whites’ first real chance. Marino’s team starts again with more aggression in the second half, but achieves little. Palumbo shoots again, but ends up high. The goal that broke the deadlock was scored by Sibilli in the 71st minute: he took the ball in midfield, no one stopped him and set off the diagonal shot that was unstoppable for Gagno. In the 83rd minute the Gialloblù equalized with Manconi on a free kick. Marino’s first match on the Bari bench ends 1-1. Modena returns to winning ways after two defeats in a row.

Cremonese-Sudtirol 0-1

—

The good news is Peeters’ return as a starter: the Belgian midfielder was out of action for two years due to neuropathy. A few weeks ago he was back on the pitch for a few minutes. Meanwhile, Vazquez always makes the difference and after ten minutes he comes close to scoring the lead with a header blocked by Poluzzi. At the other end of the pitch, Tait finds himself face to face with Sarr who manages to avoid the goal. Zanimacchia measures the distance well, the Sudtirol goalkeeper is once again ready. Stroppa’s team continues to attack with Okereke who comes close to taking the lead twice in the second half. Odogwu unlocks it, but is offside. In the 84th minute the first goal of the match arrives: the usual Odogwu comes in, Ravanelli tries to anticipate him but pushes the ball into the net. Sudtirol returns to success, Cremonese stops.

lecce-ascoli 0-2

—

How many opportunities at Rigamonti-Ceppi. On the quarter-hour mark, Buso hits the crossbar. Di Stefano also creates problems for Viviano. The Ascoli goalkeeper also had to repel Crociata, but Viali’s team took the lead with Nestorovski: the home team’s defense made a mistake, Lemmens left the ball in the area and the former Palermo player threw it in. Second goal of the season for the Macedonian attacker. Before the 45th minute, the usual Viviano had to fly on Di Stefano’s precise header. At the beginning of the second half, the referee awards a penalty to Lecco. The striker born in 2002 always goes to the spot, who slips touching the ball twice: the penalty is cancelled. Missed goal, scored goal. Just over five minutes passed and in the 55th minute Quaranta scored the second goal by intercepting and sending Milanese’s shot into the goal. The guests even came close to scoring the third goal, but the result did not change. Bonazzoli gets off to a bad start and his team remains last in the standings with just one point.

pisa-citadella 2-1

—

Tramoni moves between the lines and does what he wants. The visiting defense is unable to hold it. After ten minutes, he dribbles past two opponents in the area and shoots: Maniero on his seasonal debut says no. The goal that breaks the deadlock is by Piccinini: the first in Serie B for the midfielder born in 2001. Following a corner kick, Tramoni frees himself very well and serves his teammate who pierces the goalkeeper’s hands. The Tuscans are aggressive and even hit the double woodwork: first Estevez’s curling shot hit the post, then Valoti’s shot hit the crossbar. The hosts try to manage the result in the first minutes of the second half, Magrassi attempts a shot blocked by Canestrelli. But it is Pisa who finds the second goal with Esteves: the Portuguese full-back duets well with Torregrossa and beats the goalkeeper. In full recovery Cittadella closes the gap with Magrassi. However, the Tuscans win. Aquilani’s men regained success after three matches: they hadn’t won at home since last March.

ternana-brescia 0-1

—

Few chances in the first 45′, Gastaldello’s team only showed up in front midway through the first half with Bianchi and Bjarnason: Iannarilli blocked. Then Raimondo tries an overhead kick before the break, but nothing happens. There is also time for Bianchi’s central shot, blocked by the Ternana goalkeeper. Few flashes even at the start of the second half. Only in the 70th minute does Brescia pass with captain Bisoli: he controls from the edge and shoots, this time Iannarilli can’t do anything. The problems continue for Lucarelli’s men, who with a quarter of an hour to go are left with ten men due to Capuano’s expulsion. Lots of contrasts and a tense match, the recovery is very long. However, it remains at 0-1. Brescia extends to 13 points in seven games and is still unbeaten.
