Moncini saves Brescia again. With a goal in the 91st minute, the attacker equalized the score and responded to La Mantia’s goal. Brescia wins an important point at Rigamonti in a complicated match against Feralpisalò. The guests played better in the first half and found the advantage, in the second half the Gastaldello team reacted. Then the former Spal player in full recovery takes care of signing the equalizer. Decisive once again, like against Ascoli. The first Brescia derby in Serie B ends 1-1. All the other matches of the ninth day will be on the field between Saturday and Sunday. Leaders Parma are guests of Venezia at Penzo, with Como-Cremonese and Spezia-Pisa closing the round.

Feralpi is better

Vecchi’s men started very strongly, Butic came close to scoring the lead in the first few minutes. But shortly afterwards it was La Mantia who broke the deadlock: he jumped higher than anyone on an excellent cross from the former Martella and gave his team the lead. For him it is the second goal of the season. The striker born in ’91 practically does what he wants up front: Brescia’s defense can’t hold him. She came close to doubling the score on two occasions midway through the first half, then Letizia shot very strongly from outside, finishing off a good personal move: Lezzerini had to work overtime to save the result. The goalkeeper also flies Kourfalidis’ shot at the end of the first half. The hosts’ only shot on target was that of Bisoli in the 37th minute, who received a free kick but fired high over the crossbar.

Brescia reaction

Gastaldello’s team changes face in the second half: they manage the ball, move well and the guests are forced to close behind. Dickmann takes the measure from distance, but the first time Pizzignacco gets his hands on it is in the 62nd minute on a shot from Van de Looi. The hosts turn up the pressure: Olzer comes very close to making it 1-1, then Borrelli hits the post after a melee in the area. Feralpisalò’s wall collapsed only in the 91st minute with a goal from Moncini: Borrelli made the save and the former Spal equalized the score, like against Ascoli. It ends like this, fourth draw in a row for Brescia who remain undefeated. Vecchi’s men have to settle for a draw.
