Spezia-Verona 0-0, great opportunity for Kallon and Nzola’s post

Between flying goalkeepers and wasteful forwards, the salvation clash between Spezia and Verona ends without a goal. In Verona the link to 17th place fails, but Zaffaroni’s team stays afloat. Three points would have been needed for Spezia to try to put up a safety margin, a low wall against the dreaded eighteenth place, but despite managing the ball well, the Ligurians were unable to beat their opponents, as they had managed to do at Bentegodi in the first leg. comeback and with Nzola in a great day.

On the other hand, Spezia’s most prolific striker was not in the mood yesterday: served well by Reca inside the area, he misses the stop and misses the shot. It is the best opportunity of the first half, the cleanest (and wasted) goal in 45 minutes of balance, with Verona immediately losing Ngonge: after minutes Zaffaroni is forced to make his first substitution and Kallon immediately tries to exploit his speed, but shooting is inconclusive and above all inaccurate. Verona creates more than Spezia, but that’s not enough. Protagonist goalkeepers, it was said, especially in the second half: Perilli, surprisingly between the posts in place of a feverish Montipò, was first lucky with Nzola, who hit the post in the half hour after displacing him, and then very good on Amian, who attempted the shot winner after a one-two Shomurodov-Nzola, a delicious right foot that the goalkeeper is good at sending for a corner. And with this he saves the score with his colleague Dragowski, who in the 22nd minute of the second half had been able to block Kallon’s shot in an almost miraculous way, all alone in front of the La Spezia goal. In short, one point each, no extension for Semplici. Verona could almost be happier, which at least stays afloat.
