A generous and lively Bari but does not break through with Ternana

The first half is practically played on a goal. Bari dominates far and wide, touching the advantage several times but has the demerit of not achieving superiority, regularly sinning on the most beautiful. Already after two minutes the red and white could take the lead with Scheidler, preferred to Salcedo to team up with Cheddira, but his shot from outside the area controlled by Iannarilli, goalkeeper of Ternana. Only two minutes pass and the hosts do everything right, except the shot. Botta served prodigiously by Folorunsho, but finds Iannarilli still ready. On the retorted Cheddira not cold enough. At 20 ‘the San Nicola explodes: Botta frolics, mocking Partipilo with a tunnel, and crossing in the middle, where a Cheddira tower puts Scheidler in a position to score. This time the goal arrives, but the var sees Scheidler offside. The Frenchman again tried to show off shortly afterwards, but after an excellent move against Mantovani, he let himself be recovered by the central host himself. Bari continues to look for the goal, and after a prestige triangle between Ricci and Maita, it touches him once again, but the cross-shot of the red and white left-back finds no one ready to push the ball into the goal. We go to rest with only one team on the field but the score is still 0-0.

In the second half, Bari continues to grind game and opportunities. Botta, served by Cheddira in the heart of the area, hits a sensational crossbar, then Cheddira goes close to the eurogol but after having won a massive confrontation with Sorenser, he can’t find the corner to overtake Iannarilli. Still Cheddira fails another good chance. On the development of a corner, he tries the instinctive heel play, but the usual Iannarilli says no. Anything. It ends like this: 0-0 and many regrets. But to the applause of a Serie A audience.
