Serie B, Como-Brescia 1-0: Strefezza’s goal decides

Second goal in two games for the attacker who arrived from Lecce and -3 in the standings from leaders Parma. Maran remains in eighth place

Michele Antonelli

Under the heavy rain of Sinigaglia, Strefezza’s right-footed shot sends a message to the championship. Como overcomes Brescia with a goal from the attacker, who arrived in January from Lecce, and flies to second place in the standings for at least one night with 45 points, -3 behind leaders Parma. Missed opportunity for Maran’s team, which remains stuck in eighth place with 32 points.

SUPER STRESSFUL

Not even time to leave and Como’s latest move on the market once again gives the impression of being a factor for the second part of the season. Gabriel Strefezza just needs a few turns of the clock to break the deadlock in his own way: touch from Curto, stop in the narrow and powerful right foot that pierces Andrenacci after 7 minutes. For the former Lecce player, he is the second center in two games. The hosts set a good pace, but as the minutes passed, Brescia put their heads out and came close to equalizing with Olzer’s left-footed shot, which hit the crossbar just before the half-hour mark. Then it’s Strefezza again who shows up near Andrenacci, but this time the goalkeeper responds with a nice dive to the attacker’s right and holds out for the 1-0 at the interval.

COMO RESISTANCE

The start of the second half belongs entirely to Roberts’ team. Como immediately went in search of doubling their lead and came close to doing so several times around the hour mark, when the attackers’ creativity came to life. Among the most dangerous are Verdi and Gabrielloni, who finds a nice right-foot volley after a cross from the left, and the great reflex of Andrenacci. The match falls asleep as the minutes pass, but Brescia revives the final with the pride of those who can’t stand losing the Lombard derby. Just before the ninetieth minute, the newly introduced Bianchi and Borrelli try a couple of minutes apart: in the first case Semper is prodigious, in the second it is the post that makes Como breathe a sigh of relief. Three golden points arrive for Roberts. And at least one night in second place alone.
