Serie B, Benevento and Lecce draw in the advance

The Serie B advance ends with a draw. The guests are more dangerous and also hit a post. The Caserta team suffers from the absence of the attacker

The big match of the third day of Serie B ends 0-0, but it’s just a coincidence. Benevento and Lecce give life to a beautiful race, full of opportunities but practically one-way, at least for 70 minutes. The formation that would have deserved the victory on points, in fact, is that of Baroni, much more dangerous and much more “team” than the men of Caserta (17-8 the total of shots). An unexpected scenario, given that both squads strengthened in the summer and the two coaches have top-level men at their disposal. But, at least at the moment, Benevento seemed much further behind. For Lecce, the feeling is that the three missing points were really a matter of bad luck, because the game and identity are there and are also well defined. However, the goal is missing, which the Salento have not yet found on action in three games. Barone can smile for a top-level outdoor drum set, with Di Mariano and Strefezza creating the best opportunities. Checked Coda, who missed a couple of occasions not from him. Caserta will instead have to fix something especially on corner kicks, because he risked conceding goals every time the Salentini have beaten a Salentini. Lapadula’s absence was heavy, with Moncini unable to replace him properly. The Samnites rise to 4 in the standings, the Salento again postpone the appointment with the victory and go to 2.

THE MATCH

—

Lecce starts very strong and after a minute already wins a corner, at 3 ‘Vogliacco is providential and stops Coda a few steps from the goal. The first moments of the match immediately show the progress of the match: Lecce arrembante and very close to scoring, Benevento perched behind and saved for a few centimeters. To confirm this, at 7 ‘Di Mariano and Strefezza touch the net a few seconds away, but Paleari is saved. The first ring of the Samnites arrives at 26 ‘: Foulon’s cross from the left, Lucioni puts his foot but forces Gabriel to the miracle to avoid the own goal. Benevento tries to raise the pace, but the Salento goalkeeper no longer runs any risks. The second half is even more a solo by Lecce: the Salento players are seen canceled by the Var a penalty awarded for a touch of the hand of Calò (who is not there) at 49 ‘, shortly after Paleari is phenomenal on Hjulmand. Foulon is blocked by Gallo one step away from the goal, but in the 64th minute Lecce has the most sensational opportunity: Strefezza crosses the right from the edge, the ball crashes on the post. The action does not end and, a few seconds later, Coda devours the head advantage. Benevento thrives on gusts, at 68 ‘Sau escapes to the bottom and goes to the center for Improta, who scores: the goal is however canceled for offside by the Sardinian striker. The rhythms are lowered to 3 ‘from the end Improta devours the advantage: Foulon’s cross from the left, Gabriel touches her and involuntarily adjusts her for the number 16, who is surprised by the deviation and sends her to the side with an empty net.
