Crazy Salernitana: comeback draw and Spezia beaten on penalties

Woe betide anyone who calls it a fallback. Because for once, the Coppa Italia gives Salernitana a night in which everything and more happens. Above all, the passage of the round at the expense of Spezia in a comeback and only after the penalty kicks at the end of the 90 minutes that ended 3-3. Emotions, tensions, positive signs and alarm bells, the challenge against the Ligurians that is worth the official debut of the season and gives the away match at the end of September to the Dacia Arena with Udinese is a crazy whirlwind. Especially thinking back to the 0-2 with which the granata had gone behind at half time (Candelari and Soleri on target), between the chants of dissent against Iervolino and the applause for the late storekeeper Salvucci, in the second half the reaction of pride of Martusciello’s men. Kallon who had entered a few minutes earlier reopens the accounts with a great left-footed curling shot, then Spezia finds the third. At 1-3 for the guests, the long dispute between the Curva Sud and a provocative Dia begins. Penalty for Salernitana won by an excellent Amatucci, the Granata supporters do not appreciate the Senegalese’s choice to go to the spot, the whistles start and both the attacker and Daniliuc send them back to the sender. After the goal (2-3), the atmosphere becomes even hotter, especially when Dia shows his surname on the back of his shirt in a provocative tone, but it is he who finds the definitive equalizer in full recovery. With the new rule, no extra time, we go directly from the 11 meters, Sepe’s save on Nagy is decisive, the Campanians never make mistakes and find the unexpected passage to the next round in a night that has not skimped on emotions.
