In full injury time Pisa also equalized with ten men against Cosenza and FeralpiSalò who even stopped Nesta’s Reggiana with nine men. Brescia wins again: 2-0 against Cittadella, while Spezia draws against Catanzaro. Now Lecco-Cremonese, Sampdoria-Modena and Ternana-Como are on the field.
Parma-Venice 2-1
—
It’s a beautiful match. Mihaila makes the difference up front, he runs to the right and nobody catches him. In the 21st minute he receives very well from Hernani and crosses behind Joronen. But Vanoli’s team is anything but in difficulty. In the 14th minute he had hit the post with Pierini, then in the 26th minute he equalized the score with the usual Pohjanpalo. Altare crosses from the right, the Finn anticipates Osorio and puts it in: ninth goal in the championship for him. Before the break, Pecchia’s men even came close to doubling their lead: first with Mihaila and then with Benedyczak. In the 56th minute Joronen saves on Bonny. It continues until the 100th minute, Camara with a right-foot volley following the development of a corner gives the yellow-blues success. Parma thus regains victory after the defeat suffered against Modena. Stop for Venice.
Brescia-Cittadella 2-0
—
Maran’s team starts aggressively: Bianchi and Bertagnoli immediately challenge Kastrati. A little later Borrelli also forced the Cittadella goalkeeper to save the result. Cassano had the guests’ best chance in the 36th minute, when he tried a right-footed shot and Andrenacci got a hand on it. At the start of the second half Borrelli is good at taking advantage of a melee in the area: thus the attacker gives his team the lead. Cassano is still dangerous in the 55th minute, but Bisoli blocks. Twenty minutes later the home team made it 2-0: Bisoli again crossed, Moncini made no mistake with his header. Brescia remains in the fight for the playoffs and finds success after three games. Third consecutive defeat for Cittadella.
spice-catanzaro 1-1
—
The home team took a big risk in the 12th minute when Pompetti lost the ball in front of his area: Verde stole it from him. The attacker launches a right-footed shot that goes just wide. But in the next play Catanzaro passes. Vandeputte looks for Iemmello in the area: the Calabrian center forward left alone only has to push it inside. Sixth goal in the championship for the ’92 class, former challenger. D’Angelo’s team didn’t give up and equalized in the 34th minute with Jagiello, who did well to surprise the goalkeeper after Mateju’s header. At the beginning of the second half, Biasci wasted a good chance. In the 64th minute Nikolaou shoots very strongly from outside, Fulignati flies to avoid the goal. It ends like this, Spezia remains at the bottom of the table with 21 points. Another draw for Catanzaro.
reggiana-ferlapisalò 1-1

Zaffaroni’s team also started well with Di Molfetta challenging Bardi. Then he turns off the light completely. At 23′ Fiordilino raises his leg too much and hits Girma in the face: direct red. In injury time, the guests were again naive: Butic got a yellow card, then argued with Bianco and received a second yellow card. FeralpiSalò with nine men for the entire second half. In the 56th minute Girma does it all himself, runs to the right and with a curling shot he almost hits the post. Two minutes later Antiste heads a corner: full crossbar. Reggiana won only in the 80th minute with Kabashi’s curling shot: the first goal of the season for the Albanian midfielder. Then the guests turned the light on again: in full injury time from a free kick Captain Balestrero headed it 1-1. Reggiana gets fooled at the last second, FeralpiSalò achieves their third consecutive useful result. Nesta’s men stop.
Cosenza-Pisa 1-1
—
It’s a blocked race. The Calabrians’ first opportunity arrives in the 19th minute: Mazzocchi shoots from far away, Loria is not surprised. Aquilani’s team responds ten minutes later with Arena, his conclusion is just wide. Then in the 45th minute Calabresi gets his second yellow for a foul on Florenzi and leaves him with ten men. At the start of the second half, Gyamfi slipped and touched the ball with one hand in the area: it was a penalty for the referee. After a consultation with the VAR, the match director changes his decision: the touch is involuntary. In the 61st minute Tutino broke the deadlock: the Cosenza striker crossed well on Mazzocchi’s assist. He is the ninth center in the league. In full injury time Masucci acrobatically saves a ball that was going into a corner, Caracciolo turns and makes it 1-1. Mister Aquilani gets himself sent off, but this result probably saves his bench.
