Challenge salvation in La Spezia between the formation of Vincenzo Italiano and the Crotone of Xerxes Cosmi. For the Calabrians, in addition, the match of the ‘Peak’ represents a sort of last resort given the only 15 points. Spezia, on the other hand, with 29 points, aims to consolidate a salvation that at the beginning of the year was a mirage for many.
Only Crotone at the Peak – With these premises the match kicks off with two teams starting at a good pace with Spezia pressing very high, with the defensive line on the midfield circle, while Crotone aims to immediately verticalize towards Simy and Ounas. A tactic, that of the Calabrians, which propitiates the first goal ball of the match at 12 ‘with Benali who enters the area on a long kicked ball from the back, kicking into the goal and finding the rejected by Provedel with his feet. At 18 ‘another opportunity for Crotone which comes to a conclusion with Ounas’ header on Benali’s assist on the second dangerous entry into the opponent’s area. Cosmi’s men again to become dangerous in the 23rd minute with Ounas who does not find the deviation towards the goal on Messia’s midfield throw after a prolonged dribble. At 38 ‘Benali is forced to go out after a contrast with Ismajli: in his place space for Magallan who puts himself as a right half in defense with Djidji as the right winger in midfield and Molina as a midfielder. At 40 ‘comes Crotone’s well-deserved advantage with the former Torino Djidji. The defender beats Provedel in a turn without even looking at the goal on the development of a corner kick. At the end of the fraction, however, the game becomes confused and not even with the 3 ‘recovery there are other opportunities.
Four goals in one half – The recovery begins with Italian trying to shake up his team by sending Farias and Sena on the field in place of Ricci and Gyasi. These changes and the grooming in the interval wake up the team that starts with more air than the first fraction. A determination that puts Crotone in difficulty even if the maneuver of the eagles is certainly not as fluid as ever. At 60 ‘Reca raid from the left, ball back for Simy who kicks towards the goal but finding the contrast of Erlic. Despite this, in the 63rd minute La Spezia’s equalizer with Daniele Verde. Ball in the Crotone area from the right, Marchizza’s header for the former Roma who kicks by hitting the goal from a tight angle. At 69 ‘space in Crotone in Zanellato in place of Molina, while Spezia sends Agudelo and Vignali on the field in place of Verde and Ferrer. At 75 ‘personal action by Farias who gets to kick on goal using a pocket from the defense. However, the conclusion is weak and Cordaz blocks. Suddenly in the 78th minute he goes ahead of Crotone again and once again Simy breaks through the net. The Nigerian striker concludes an action started by Ounas and finished by Zanellato with a low pass in favor of the striker. Two minutes later Ounas’ race ends to make room for Di Carmine. All 83 ‘move of the desperation of the Italian who takes away Pobega to add a further center forward: Andrej Galabinov. At 87 another thrill for the Ligurians caused by Messias who on a free kick from 20 meters touches the post to the left of Provedel. At 89, however, La Spezia drew in extremis. On the development of a free kick, Maggiore is face to face with Cordaz on Erlic’s assist. Ball to rise and Cordaz beaten. Spezia 2-2 Crotone. Three minutes and La Spezia’s sensational winning goal arrives with the signature of Martin Erlic. The Croatian defender throws a ball into the goal that landed on the crossbar after Ismajli’s header. The game practically ends here with Spezia winning a very important game, reaching 32 points. A very painful defeat, however, for Crotone which remains stationary at 15 points.
