Battipagliese, the first knockout comes with Heraclea

On the fifth day of the Eccellenza championship, group B, the Battipagliase collects its first defeat of the season but still maintains the top of the group. The zebrattes give in to the listed price Heraclea with the final score of two to zero. The first half was clearly Apulian despite the first shot on target by Battipagliese after 1′ with It tingles which engages from thirty metres Tucci which deflects into a corner kick. In the 6th minute I shot a cross from Ribeiro con ladybugs which also deflects into a corner. At the first lunge Heraclea passes: through ball from Marin to surprise the Juventus defense from behind, he slips in Johnson Yeboah what a hole Trapani to his left. In the 21st minute the hosts were left with ten men due to the direct expulsion of Esposito for a foul on Formicola. Battipagliese tries a reaction with the extra man but the header from Spanish su cross on Suozzo it grazes the post to Tucci’s right. On the second attack Heraclea doubled their lead: Jonhson Yeboah again creating havoc in the penalty area with Suozzo tripping him, a penalty kick that Pignataro he achieves, surprising Trapani. Until the end of the first half, Battipagliese held the field given the extra man but the conclusions of Ribeiro, Ripa e Boglic all three are inaccurate.

Lots of ball possession at the start of the second half in favor of Battipagliese given the numerical superiority with Heraclea closing in like a hedgehog in their own half of the pitch. Few opportunities were created by the zebrette, especially along the lines of Boglic, at the cross, and Ripa, at the shot, who did not fit the target. Heraclea was dangerous at the end with Cocinelli’s long-range shot giving the optical illusion of a goal.
