Perugia-Reggina 1-3: nightmare evening for goalkeeper Gori, the amaranths set foot back in the playoff area

Reggina triumphs in Perugia in a comeback (1-3) and finds its smile again after 4 defeats in a row. Three points that restore oxygen to Filippo Inzaghi’s team who thus return to put both feet back in the playoff area, hooking Pisa in 6th place and returning to +3 on Palermo, 9th. Perugia, deluded by Di Serio’s initial goal, instead remains empty-handed and has to postpone the goal of getting out of the play out area.

Hernani replies to Di Serio

Yet the match had gone well for the Umbrians, who took the lead in the 24th minute with a flicker in the box by Di Serio, who was good at returning to the left and hitting inside. Reggina reacted immediately and found the net in the 38th minute with a free-kick from Hernani which slipped into the bottom corner with the complicity of an uncertain Gori.

Gori gives away the 1-2 to the guests, Canotto closes the accounts

In the second half, Reggina overturned the score. On a free-kick from Di Chiara (47′), Gori completed his night by blocking the ball beyond the goal line (as revealed through a Var consultation despite the lack of relief from the Goal Line Technology). On the wings of enthusiasm, Reggina insisted and, after coming close to scoring first with a header from Bouiah and then with a shot from Rivas deflected off the crossbar by Struna, closed the score in the 82nd minute with Canotto, whose goal on the counterattack was first disallowed for offside and then awarded thanks to the Var.
