However, Reggiana reacted immediately, touching the goal on two different occasions with razors by the enterprising Girma. In the 42nd minute, however, a hard challenge for Nesta’s line-up arrives, forced to continue the remaining part of the match in numerical inferiority due to a tactical foul committed by Marcandalli to stop Segre’s advance.
