FROSINONE-CAGLIARI 2-2
The seventh consecutive victory for Frosinone vanishes in full recovery, which in any case obtains a good draw at the end of an intense challenge, thus strengthening the first position in the standings. First half of the game characterized by high pace. In the 14th minute it was the guests who found the advantage with Luvumbo, who supported the net after having taken advantage of a sensational ingenuity of the home defence, cutting out first Ravanelli and then the goalkeeper Turati in speed. The hosts begin to manage the ball in search of an equaliser, which arrives in the 32nd minute thanks to Rohden: the midfielder, served with a pass from Garritano, is able to pop into the far post behind an inattentive Carboni and scores head. The start of the second half sees the rossoblù try to raise the center of gravity, but in the 67th minute Grosso’s boys find the overtaking goal thanks to an absolute pearl from Insigne, who receives on top of the area and lets go a left footed shot that it is bagged at the intersection of the poles. In the final Turati makes an excellent intervention on a joke by Kourfalidis. A few seconds from the end, Lapadula on a penalty gives him the same while the Var in the 99th minute saves Frosinone from the prank by canceling Pavoletti’s 2-3 for offside.

REGGINA-BENEVENTO 2-2
Up 2-0 Reggina lets Benevento pick up and misses the opportunity to shorten the distances from leaders Frosinone. The match unlocked in the 21st minute when Hernani, with a powerful right foot, transformed the penalty kick granted (after a Var check) into a goal by touching Pastina’s arm. After 15′ the amaranths double thanks to the goal signed by Canotto, who scores with his back-heel in front of goal at the end of an action which also sees Hernani and Menez as protagonists. In the second half, the yellow and reds shorten the distance with Improta who in the 59th minute mocks Ravaglia on the developments of a corner kick. Shortly after, the Calabrians are granted the second penalty of the match which, however, is first whistled and then removed after the Var check. The Samnites breathe a sigh of relief and in the 82nd minute they equalize the score with Acampora who scores with a precise left foot from outside area.

PERUGIA-GENOA 1-0
Thanks to a goal by Olivieri, Perugia beat a subdued Genoa. In a first half poor in emotions, in the half hour the home team had been awarded a penalty for a central penetration by Santoro hindered by Coda, but after an initial assignment without hesitation, the referee was called back to the Var and returned to the decision. Previously, Perugia had tried with a free-kick from Bartolomei deflected diving by Semper, while Genoa had only had one chance, with Puscas who had sent the ball just wide. Then Olivieri’s goal, who on Kouan’s throw got clear with a heel from Dragusin and sent the ball into the far top corner with a right footed turn. In the final, Genoa found an equalizer with Strootman, but the referee disallowed the goal after consulting the Var again.

BRESCIA-SPAL 2-0
Brescia returns to winning after two and a half months. Cellino’s drive, absent from the stadium but ideally present with a press release issued shortly before the match, made itself felt. Advantage of the swallows in the 14th minute thanks to Ayè’s fifth goal of the season. The French forward takes advantage of a rebound after an excellent penetration by Ndoj and leaves no way out for Alfonso. The home team doubled in the 42nd minute: a cross from Viviani’s flag, Murgia mistakenly lengthened the trajectory and Mangraviti came out at the far post and headed in. In the second half a great intervention by Andrenacci on Moncini and an offside hindered the possible comeback.

COMO-BARI 1-1
Bari avoided the defeat in Como in extremis at the end of a tight, nervous and fought match, which Longo’s team handled better than the red and white thanks to an excellent defensive performance. From the penalty spot both goals, after the referee Marchetti had already awarded a shot from the spot to the hosts in the middle of the first half: Cerri kicked on the post, Blanco managed to score on the rebuttal but the goal was disallowed because the moment the penalty was taken, Blanco himself entered the area. Como didn’t give up, and managed to regain the same opportunity in the injury time of the first half: penalty awarded for a touch of the Bracco in the area by Pucino, and this time Cerri didn’t fail. The same reasoning an hour later, in the 90th minute, when Arrigoni in the box intercepted a cross shot by Donval by his arm, allowing Botta to equalize the score. Shortly before, the hosts had squandered two or three great chances to bring home a precious success.

SOUTH TYROL-LISTEN 2-2
Fair draw at the Druso between Sudtirol and Ascoli. Eleventh consecutive useful result for Bisoli’s team. Bucchi’s team takes the lead and does so in the 1st minute: Lungoyi supports for Ciciretti who mocks everyone and scores easily. Sudtirol tries to recover it by pressing Ascoli in their own half, but first Nicolussi Caviglia (16′) and after Odogwu (36′) fail to materialize. However, the draw comes in the 58th minute on a penalty kick from Casiraghi. Ascoli moves forward again in the 65th minute with a solo from Caligara, who wedges in and beats Poluzzi with a low shot. But the home team didn’t fit in and equalized in the 84th minute with a razor from Rover.

CITADEL-COSENZA 1-1
It ends 1-1 what on the eve was already announced as a play-off between the home grenade, veterans of the heavy defeat in Parma, and the Calabrians who, although one point behind, came from a good victory over Palermo. Not even 5 ‘and Tounkara hits the crossbar in full with a shot from the center of the area. Cosenza struggled to show up near Kastrati and around half an hour the Cittadella broke the deadlock with Antonucci, able to juggle the limit and put in an elusive diagonal for Marson. At the beginning of the second half, a sensational post by Beretta. The newcomer Vaisanen starred in the Rossoblù’s first shot in the 60th minute with a header that hit the crossbar. Cosenza hints at a reaction but finds no outlets while the landlords take advantage of it to act as a throw-in again with Antonucci and Tounkara. When the match seems to go in favor of the grenade, Brignola’s goal arrives unexpectedly and resolves a scrum with a touch in front of goal. A minute later, Gorini’s men had the very chance to take the lead again: perfect triangle on the edge with a touch from Antonucci and a save on the line by the defence. But also on the other side, the former D’Urso sees a shot from Kastrati rejected without fail.
