The ranking
Venice-Salernitana 1-2
The Campanians stretch to the top of the standings, overcoming Venice without too many problems. To direct the match is a blaze by Andre Anderson, who at the end of the first half scores two goals within four minutes (34 ‘and 38’) with a sharp blow from the edge, on an assist from Casasola, and kicking off and closing in the first person an action that had seen Lezzerini deflect a lob from Tutino on the post. The assault of Venice in the second half was useless, with Salernitana also close to the trio with Tutino. Crnigoj scored the goal that fixed the score at 1-2, but it came too late.
Brescia 1-3 Empoli
Race dominated by the Tuscans, while Dionysius’s team appeared in confusion from the start. At 13 ‘guest advantage signed by Haas: central pocket and diagonal unbeatable to beat Joronen. Doubling of the Tuscans after a great restart. La Mantia scores in the 40th minute in tap-in after a Haas cross. Brescia again in the game at the end of the first fraction thanks to the penalty (foul on Spalek) transformed by Torregrossa. In the second half Empoli closes the practice with a very dubious penalty awarded by referee Ros. Mancuso kicks on the post but collects the assist of a teammate in front of goal.
Cremonese-Monza 0-2
Cremonese closes 2020 at Zini with a defeat that stains Bisoli’s 500th presence on the bench among the professionals. Brocchi’s team broke the deadlock in less than a quarter of an hour when Gytkjaer burns Terranova at speed and serves Barillà who controls and scores. The first half is all here. In the second half Cremonese reacts and with a series of crosses worries Di Gregorio, touching the goal. The mess, however, materializes in the 76th minute: Zortea defends a ball stopped on the bottom line, then inexplicably sends it back in the middle of the area on Frattesi’s feet who scores undisturbed. In the end, the attempts of the grigiorossi were useless, driven by pride.
Frosinone-Pordenone 1-1
Frosinone resists the emergency dictated by the coronavirus and snatches a precious point against Pordenone. The Ciociari, who showed up with only one player on the bench due to the large number of positive players in the last hours (14), goes under against the lizards for Diaw’s network but in the second half they manage to get a very heavy draw thanks to the Parzysek network. Nesta’s team therefore rises to -1 from fourth Spal, while the neroverdi remain in mid-table.
Ascoli-Spal 2-0
In the spin of the day, the bianconeri surpassed Spal by surprise and found their second success in the league. The great protagonist of the day is Sabiri, who in the summer was also compared to Lazio: his brace that bent the Este, who confirm the great difficulties in the away matches (1 point in the last three outings). Winning debut, therefore, for Andrea Sottil, who had just collected the legacy of Delio Rossi at the helm of the Picchio.
Lecce 2-1 Vicenza
Lecce returns to victory after having collected two consecutive knockouts. Complicated match for Corini’s Giallorossi, who go under in the first quarter of an hour (goal by Marotta) and therefore have to chase after the second half. The coach’s changes were decisive, who in the 67th minute included Pablo and Henderson: the former Verona midfielder signed the assist for the equalizer of Captain Mancosu after less than 3 minutes from the entrance, at 72 ‘the comeback was perfected with Henderson still protagonist in the assist phase, this time directly for Pablo. Lecce rises to 24 points in the playoff area.
Reggiana-Reggina 0-1
First victory at the helm of the Calabrians for Mr. Marco Baroni, who arrived despite the final phase of the match outnumbered: in the most difficult moment, after the expulsion of Stavropoulos (86 ‘), Reggina was able to find the strength to take home the ‘entire post thanks to the goal of Bellomo, arrived 2’ from the end. The guests had taken the reins of the match right from the start, claiming a penalty for a hand from Varone and forcing Cerofolini to several miracles to keep the match at 0-0.
Cosenza-Pisa 1-1
One point on each side between Cosenza and Pisa. Match lit from the very first minutes, with Vido wasting the penalty of the possible advantage after only 6 turns of the clock. At the end of the first half it is Bahlouli who leads the Calabrians forward, in the second half, 11 ‘from the end, Gucher scores the final 1-1 at the invitation of the newly entered Soddimo. Cosenza rises to 14 points in the standings, hooked by Reggina, while Pisa is at the foot of the playoff area at 19.
Entella-Pescara 3-0
Entella finds their first win of the season in the battle against Pescara. Virtus escaped in the first half with goals from Schenetti and De Luca, the latter scoring after missing a penalty kick. Great fear in the second half: a terrible impact between Koutsoupias and Jaroszynski caused the former Chievo full-back to collapse to the ground, who initially remained down without showing signs of life. After the great fear, Jaroszynski went out on his own legs, without the aid of the stretcher. In full recovery, the 3-0 goal scored by Cardoselli.
