VENICE-REGGINA 1-2
Reggina wins in comeback in Venice and remains in pursuit of Frosinone. The home team starts strong, which after 10 ‘goes ahead: bad ball lost by Camporese, Crnigoj takes advantage, passing to Pohjanpalo who shoots from outside the area and surprises Ravaglia. Four minutes later, the orange and green almost doubled with a shot from Crnigoj that splintered the crossbar. At 22 ‘, there would be the 2-0 of Venice with an own goal by Giraudo but after a consultation with the Var, the referee Marcenaro cancels for offside. The lagunari go close to the second goal within 2 ‘: first Ravaglia (38’) rejects a shot from Pohjanpalo, then, on the following action Gagliolo saves a lob from Modolo who had passed the goalkeeper on the line. At the beginning of the second half the guest draw comes: Majer shot from outside deflected by Wisniewski, Joronen touches but the ball ends up at the intersection and dances on the line, Canotto reaffirms the goal. Venezia struggles to create as in the first half and the Reggio advantage arrives with Hernani who, at the height of the penalty spot, unloads into the net after a favorable rebound.

PARMA-CITADEL 3-1
Parma immediately found the smile and the three points by clearly beating the Cittadella at the Tardini, where they collected the fourth consecutive victory. The crusaders take the lead at 17 ‘on a free kick by Estevez, on which Valenti’s air bank favors Delprato’s flying shot at the second goal in a row at home which interrupts the unbeaten run of the Venetians at 439’ . The guests touched equal at the start of the second half with an oversized diagonal by Antonucci before doubling the newly entered Camara who in the center of the area took advantage of Sohm’s assist. Benedyczak also enters who drops the trio on the in-depth serve of Inglese then Antonucci realizes the network of the flag on the developments of a corner.

BARI-SUDTIROL 2-2
One time each and Bari and Sudtirol drew 2-2 at San Nicola. Deadly one-two of the guests in the first fraction: after a post from Rover, Tait heads in from a cross by Belardinelli but to cheer he has to wait for the OK of the Var, to check the position of the ball taken back on the back line before the assist . Doubling in a photocopy of Odogwu with another inzuccata but Di Cesare, still with his head, keeps his team in the race. In the second half it is a completely different Bari, after the entry of Botta. Schediler shakes the crossbar but the tie still comes with Salcedo, who bags with a right-footed shot at the suggestion of Ricci. The two teams are still trying to outdo each other with Antenucci and Carretta but the result does not change.

CAGLIARI-PISA 1-1
Another home draw for Cagliari which, with the same result as the last match at Unipol Domus, closes with a 1-1 draw against Pisa. Lapadula’s third consecutive goal was worth nothing, which served to balance the scores after the host advantage, at 50 ‘, arrived thanks to Morutan’s marking. A full-blown gift the one given to the Nerazzurri by the Cagliari defense, with Altare throwing the opponent into the net. At 67 ′ the Italian-Peruvian thought about straightening the race but despite the final forcing the result remained unchanged.

SPAL-BENEVENTO 1-2
Spal of the De Rossi era collects their first defeat against Benevento which had not won since 3 September when the team then coached by Caserta won 3-2 in Venice. Fabio Cannavaro won the long-distance challenge between the two world champions coaches, obtaining his first success at the helm of the Giallorossi. Despite the absence of nine elements, the Campania coach fielded a team that fought for every ball. Spal ahead after only 10 ‘with a masterful free-kick from Salvatore Esposito. After the goal the hosts disappear and Benevento takes over without ever creating serious dangers for Alfonso. Spal almost doubled in the half hour with La Mantia who, by a whisker, was unable to correct Moncini’s cross on the net. Benevento finds the draw in the 33rd minute when on a free kick by Farias, not held back by Alfonso, it is Capellini who bucks but the referee is called back to the Var and cancels due to a push in the barrier by Improta on Murgia. In the second half the game changes face when Spal remains in 10 for the expulsion of Peda. The Samnites first draw (73 ‘) with Capellini in the fray and then take the lead (75’) with La Gumina. Spal tries and comes close to equal to 90 ‘with a free kick from Tunjov that ends up very close to the side.

COSENZA-PALERMO 3-2
Important victory of Cosenza in the internal confrontation with Palermo. The Silani return to victory and interrupt the positive streak of Corini’s team which returns to denounce some defensive amnesia. The rosanero take the lead at the end of the first half with Brunori but in full recovery (46 ‘) collect the same as Florenzi. In the second half, Rigione (56 ‘) overturns the match at dawn by 7’ decisive for the challenge. In fact, Brunori (59 ‘) at the far post still punishes Marson but at 63’ Cosenza finds the winning goal with Larrivey, who heads in on D’Urso’s cross. In the final, Palermo has a penalty to equalize but Marson smanaccia the conclusion of Brunori from 11 meters.

MODENA-PERUGIA 1-1
From the salvation challenge of the “Braglia” comes an equal who does not satisfy anyone. Perugia remains at the bottom of the standings, deluded by Di Carmine’s advantage, Modena (2 points in 4 games) is sucked back into the playout area after a month and the first boos for the Tesser band rain down from the stands. It all happens in the final 7 ‘of the first half: at 37’ Bartolomei deep fishes Di Carmine, kept in the game by Azzi, who puts Gagno on the way out. Before the whistle in the middle of the race, great work by Diaw, ball in tow for Tremolada’s surgical left-handed. In the second half, little happens, only Kouan and Armellino try without fruit and in the end the tie is as fair as it is not very useful for both.

TERNANA-BRESCIA 0-0
Ternana and Brescia no longer know how to win. Lucarelli’s team entered the fourth consecutive game without success and third without finding the way to the net. Worse numbers for the Clotet boys who, on the other hand, have not won for 7 days now. The swallows drew the fourth consecutive race. At the “Liberati” in Terni the emotions are with the dropper. The most important is the one that occurred in the first half on Cassata’s left which called into question Andrenacci the owner for the disqualification of Lezzerini. In the second half, zero emotions with Brescia who tried to push in the final without ever putting Iannarilli in difficulty.
