Reggina-Brescia 1-2, Mangraviti and Rodriguez relaunch the salvation ambitions of the Lombards

After 3 useful results, Reggina falls at home for the 7th time this season and takes a step back in the playoff race. The advance of the 34th round of Serie B smiles on Brescia who takes away 3 golden points that give oxygen to the precarious ranking of the Lombards, for one night outside the relegation zone, at +2 on Spal, engaged on Saturday in Modena, and a+1 on Perugia, expected from the direct clash at Curi with Cosenza.

Mangraviti unlocks the achievement

Brescia got off to a good start and, after grazing the target with Bisoli, passed (14′): following the development of a corner, a cross shot by Labojko turned into an assist for Mangraviti who, from two steps away, put the crossbar under it. Reggina accuses the blow and struggles to get up: Andreacci is only engaged by a right-footed shot by Strelec in the 40th minute. The most dangerous remain the guests who came close to doubling three times before the interval with Ayé (2) and Labojko.

Rodriguez doubles, Bouah shortens the gap

Inzaghi, unhappy, changes: he inserts Bouah and Canotto for Cionek and Liotti and passes to the 4-man defense. The swerve seems to be good for the amaranths who scare Andreacci with Fabbian, Hernani (2) and Loiacono. Brescia doesn’t get scared, they reply when they can and, after sending a further warning with Bjorkengren, they double up (72′) from another corner: Bisoli acts as a tower for Rodriguez who, stationed at the far post, scores. On the other hand, it seemed over in the 76th minute, Reggina reopened the result with a twisting header by Bouah following a corner by Canotto.

Rodriguez, Ndoj and Pierozzi were expelled in the recovery

The Calabrians close the boarding but Pierozzi and the substitute Galabinov are unable to find the right leap to avoid defeat. In the final, things heat up and referee Meraviglia has to show the red card 3 times: first (94′) for Rodriguez, too lively on the bench immediately after leaving (86′) to make way for Niemeijer, and then , at the same time (97′), for Ndoj and Pierozzi for mutual improprieties. Reggina’s last chance came in the 99th minute to another substitute, Rivas, who, however, kicked high from a favorable position.
