Coda launches Genoa, Reggina stretched out 1-0. Gilardino at -3 from leaders Frosinone

The Genoa continues its splendid promotion ride: against the Reggina scores the 4th win in a row (1-0), brings the unbeaten run of his own goal to 575′ and locks down the 2nd place, moving to 3 points behind leaders Frosinone. The fourth consecutive defeat by Reggina, on the other hand, certifies the bad moment for Pippo Inzaghi’s men who now also see their placement in the playoff area at risk given that they could be overtaken by Parma, engaged at the Tardini in the direct clash with Palermo, and joined by Como and Ternana.

Queue decides

Reggina tries to make itself dangerous at the start in a couple of circumstances with Stelec but the first real shot on goal by the hosts (36′) goes under: Sturaro dissociates Coda in the area who scores the 10th with a precise diagonal right seasonal goal. On the wings of enthusiasm, the Rossoblù insisted and came close to doubling on three other occasions before the interval, twice by Coda himself and then by Badelj.

Genoa fails to double on several occasions

The music at the start of the second half did not change with Vogliacco who devoured the 2-0 with an empty goal from close by on the side of Ilsanker, who took over from Bani in the 12th minute, forced out due to loss of eyebrow blood after a violent plane crash with strelec. Reggina at this point has a jolt of pride and manages to engage Martinez with a right foot from Menez’s edge. The same fate suffered, on the opposite side, a diagonal counterattack by Gudmundsson who found an attentive Colombi ready to respond.

Cross by Badelj, sent off in the final Sturaro

In the final, the Calabrian team tries to raise the center of gravity but offers the side to the counterattacks of the landlords who come close to doubling again with Ekuban and then again with Gudmundsson. In full stoppage time everything happens: in the 95th minute Badelj hits the crossbar in full on a free-kick and on the reversal in front Martinez saves the result by raising a lob from Canotto, who has just entered, over the crossbar. The only bad news for Genoa is the red light inflicted in the 91st minute for protests by Aureliano on Sturaro, who had taken a seat on the bench after going off in the 57th minute: on 10 April he will miss the away match in Como.
