A turn of the hands is almost not enough to double the rosanero!

The last man of the Molise, however, is good and rejects the conclusion. The match takes more balance in the middle of the first half, with Palermo in full management of the game ready to hurt with fast and well-organized restarts. At 30 ‘Campobasso gets a dangerous free-kick from the edge of the rosanero area: the conclusion, however, is blocked by the barrier.
At 36 ‘still a dangerous action by the visiting team who after a few exchanges arrives at the close conclusion of Vitali walled with the body by Odjer. A minute later Rossetti gets rid of Marconi’s marking and kicks by touching the post to Pelagotti’s right. Campobasso gains meters in the offensive phase to find the way of the goal that would reopen the game.
At 43 ‘comes the double yellow card for Giunta who commits a foul on Soleri in the restart, expelled in number 19 of the Molisans. Shortly after, the referee sent everyone to the locker room: the first half ended 2-0 in favor of the rosanero.

Two other substitutions for Filippi: Silipo and Floriano leave and De Rose and Brunori enter.
Cudini in the 70th minute sends the yellow card Sbardella out of the field to let Fabriani enter. A game that maintains a certain intensity, especially after the goal that reopened the game and after Odjer was sent off, which brought the number of players on the field equal. At 78 ‘Lancini’s intervention on Tenkorang, for the referee, there are the extremes for the penalty kick!
On the spot goes Bontà who hits the crossbar with his right! The result still sees the rosanero ahead. At 80 ‘the Palermo drops the trio! The reaction of the rosanero arrives with a vertical pass for Brunori who holds up the marking of two opposing defenders and in the penalty area, he makes no mistake by beating Raccichini!
