Modena deluded by a brace from Strizzolo, interspersed with a goal from Tutino

Race full of emotions at Barbera. Modena passes after just 4′ with Strizzolo, launched deep by Tremolada. The home team reacted immediately and, after having a goal disallowed by Tutino for offside and having missed a good chance with Soleri, they equalized in the 25th minute with Tutino himself who, served by Soleri, slipped Gagno in with a precise right foot low shot from the edge. Modena didn’t give up and after just 5′ they went on again with Strizzolo beating Pigliacelli again with a perfect header from Tremolada’s cross from the right.

Recovery all rosanero: Soleri, Verre, Aurelio and Vido scored from a penalty

Palermo roll up their sleeves and make a comeback in the second half. Already in the 47th minute the 2-2 signed by Soleri arrived and he was ready for the appointment with a header at the far post from Valente’s cross from the right. Then, in the 56th minute, it was Verre who scored the 3-2 by taking advantage of a misunderstanding between Oukhadda and Gagno: he anticipated the goalkeeper and scored in the goal which remained unguarded. Just 3′ pass and Aurelio drops the poker with a header from Tutino’s cross from the right. Modena raises the white flag and in the 78th minute also collects the 5-2, made by substitute Vido who scores (foul by Ponsi) and converts a penalty.
