LECCE-BRESCIA 1-1

–

Nobody wins the “playoff” for Serie A. Lecce and Brescia cancel each other out and ends 1-1, one goal each, Strefezza and Bisoli. Nobody needs it. Pugliesi always first at 54, Inzaghi third at 52. A masterpiece by Strefezza opens the match at 19 ‘. The Brazilian, 12 goals this season, never so many in his career, takes the ball on the right, focuses, gets 15 meters ball and chain and then throws an impregnable left that ends straight in seven. Joronen dives, but he is unstoppable. Equal comes to half an hour. Plizzari landslide on Leris and the referee has no doubts: penalty. The former Reggina number one hypnotizes Pajac, but Bisoli throws her in on the rebound. Third goal of the season for him, the second to Lecce after that of the first leg. The second half is a festival of more or less sharp opportunities and counter-attacks. Coda is close to scoring in the 73rd minute, but the header is too central. A few minutes earlier Tramoni had tried with his left, wasted restart. 10 ‘from the end Palacio gets hurt. The Argentine enters but exits with a conspicuous bandage on his arm. In the final, Strefezza tries again, twice dangerous with right and left, but at Via del Mare ends 1-1. During the recovery, a member of Marco Baroni’s staff was expelled.

REGGINA-PERUGIA 0-1

–

Suddenly external neck and Perugia victorious in Reggio Calabria. A punishment to Totti in the early 2000s breaks the monotony of a 0-0 already written. De Luca and his teammates win 1-0 at Granillo and thank Burrai, his first goal of the season. And what a goal: unstoppable placed from 25 meters. The ball is spinning so much that Micai can only watch him go into the goal. Alvini’s boys, eighth at 45 points, return to winning ways after two defeats and one draw. Perugia shows up a couple of times in front of Micai, the most sensational chance is in the 63rd minute. The Umbrian number one misses the timing of the exit and Olivieri finds it on the left with an empty net, but kicks off from scarce five meters. Chichizola, then, keeps a good guard in the 71st minute: Cionek’s header deflected with confidence. Three important points for the Umbrians in terms of the playoffs.

TERNANA-COSENZA 2-0

–

One-two in the first half and Ternana flies. Lucarelli’s boys redeem the defeat against Vicenza, trim two goals against Cosenza and go to 37 points. Half ranking. Koutsoupias opens the game on 26 ‘with an easy right-footed platter. Palumbo’s assist from the left, well launched from the rear, and the Greek’s first blast in Serie B. The doubling comes at the end of the first half, after Defendi’s direct red for a foul intervention in mid-field. Ternana in ten, yes, but victorious. The protagonist is Alfredo Donnarumma, who is primed by Palumbo on a corner kick – second assist of the day – scores the tenth goal of the season. After two years, the former Empoli striker is back in double figures (25 goals in Brescia in 2018/19). Cosenza tries to do something in the second half, raises his head a couple of times with Larrivey, but loses for the second time in a row after Frosinone. Bisoli’s men remain at 23 points.
