High Drama and VAR Controversy: FeralpiSalò Beats Modena in Serie B Thriller

Thanks for following the live broadcast of this match with us, see you in the next round of Serie B! 4.08pm

Surreal race at Braglia. Modena passes with Abiuso’s strike, but is reached by Di Molfetta’s shot from outside. Then the round of penalties begins: the first, for the Emilians, was revoked, the second, awarded to the guests after on field review, converted by Butic. Another penalty brings Bianco’s team back into the game, Palumbo scores it, then Volpi first concedes and then cancels another shot from eleven meters to Feralpi. Maximum punishment which however was awarded and confirmed in the 90th minute for Zaffaroni’s men, La Mantia took responsibility for it and displaced Seculin by giving pure oxygen to the blue-green team. 4.07pm
