Modena goalkeeper Riccardo Gagno offered victory to his team this Saturday against Imolese Calcio (2-1) at the last minute on an unlikely clearance.
Jewel alert in Italy. During the 36th day of Serie C, the Modena goalkeeper scored an improbable goal to offer the three points to his team against Imolese Calcio this Saturday (2-1). While the scoreboard indicates 1-1 in the 91st minute, Riccardo Gagno has the ball in the feet just in front of his surface. Seeing that the clock is ticking, he asks no questions and sends a very long ball into the opposing camp. So long that the defense and its counterpart are surprised by the trajectory, the leather going to die in the goal.
First career goal
The 24-year-old doorman, who passed through Venice and Brescia in particular, was then quickly surrounded by his teammates, who came to celebrate this incredible achievement in front of a crazy audience, despite a large number of empty seats. He will long remember his first career goal, crucial to give Modena their 26th victory of the season in the third division.
A success that allows the club to prance at the top of the standings with four points ahead of Reggiana two days from the end. A success on Thursday against Gubbio will ensure the rise in Serie B. Good news for the club, excluded from competition and dissolved in 2017, before being reborn in April 2018 under the name Pro Modena then Modena FC.
