Kick-off scheduled for 14:00. The teams enter the field, Palermo in an all-white away kit while the hosts play in amaranth clothing.
First ball of the match entrusted to the Cittadella. The referee blows his whistle for the start of the match: Cittadella-Palermo begins.
In the 3rd minute Cittadella immediately took the lead: insistent action by the hosts with Vita stopping in the area and putting the ball in the middle, a volley from Maistrello who beat Pigliacelli for the immediate goal that opened the scoring.
Few emotions on the pitch after the Cittadella goal in the very first minutes, a very physical match at the moment, especially in midfield with the squad blocked by the very high pressing of the hosts.
In the 20th minute penalty kick for Cittadella, Mastrantonio anticipates Saric in the area and is overwhelmed by the Bosnian.
Antonucci appears from the penalty spot and displaces Pigliacelli and, on his birthday, scores the goal of doubling for the hosts.
In the 26th minute, Palermo also had the first chance of the match with Saric pounced into the area on Soleri’s rebounded shot, the ball high over the crossbar.
The 31st minute penalty also for Palermo: Carriero lands Verre in the area, at first the referee lets it continue but after consulting the VAR assigns the penalty to the pinks.
The new penalty taker Di Mariano appears from the penalty spot and scores the goal that shortens the distance, second consecutive goal for the Palermitans!
In the 34th minute, the first yellow card of the match for Carriero, a late entry on Gomes and the first yellow card of the match between the ranks of the Cittadella.
After a few minutes, Saric equalized the yellow card count, a dangerous play by the Bosnian on Branca and the first yellow card for the rosanero too.
In the 38th minute, a great play with his back to Brunori’s goal who receives the ball in the area on the left, gets rid of his opponents, but his shot ends up on the outside of the net.
Palermo is growing after Di Mariano’s goal, Gomes passes again and is knocked down by Branca who gets the yellow card.
41st minute, a long-distance bickering between the two coaches Corini and Gorini, the Rosanero coach was expelled by the referee while the Cittadella coach got his yellow card.
45th minute Cittadella was very occasional with Antonucci avoiding Bettella and shooting towards goal from close range, a reflection of Pigliacelli who rejected the ball.
47th minute, in full recovery, Brunori’s super goal! The captain is unlocked! Crossi in the area by Verre, header by Saric and a wonderful overhead kick by Brunori who scores the equalizer.
After four minutes of added time, the first half ends with the pyrotechnic result of 2-2.
