It is still too early to understand this series B, but surely the real values of the teams start to come out. The headlines of the 18 day, if you take, along with the top of the standings, the Palermo that since yesterday looks at all the other claimants to jump from the top of its 32 points obtained thanks to 8 wins, 8 draws and only 2 defeats.
The rosanero yesterday were called to a respectable test bench. Without five "luxury" owners, they were, in fact, at the San Nicola, a Bari with whom, on the eve of the direct clash, together with Parma, shared the record in the standings. The big match ends with a round 3-0 for the Palermo that breaks the wings of the former Fabio Grosso, once again collapsed at the time of taking flight. The goals, all realized in the second half, are signed by Rispoli, Trajkovski and Coronado and allow, as said at the opening, to fly to the top of the standings with Palermo 32 points, two more than the chase pair all gialloblù, Frosinone-Parma that points have put 30 together. The Emiliani, after having gone ahead with a great goal by Di Gaudio, had equalized in anticipation, on the field of a Ternana desperate for points that had managed to find the goal of the definitive 1-1 thanks to Montalto. The Frosinone instead, after four consecutive draws, some of which are real Christmas gifts in advance for the opponents, is back to win in his new plant against Brescia coached by former Pasquale Marino. 2-0 the final result thanks to the nets, one by one, of the two strikers who have alternated during the match, namely Citro, at its second seasonal center and Dionisi, which seems to have rediscovered its natural realization.
A point below, at an altitude of 29, we find over the Bari defeated at home against Palermo, even the Empoli that only thanks to a penalty kick made in the first half by Donnarumma, manages to get the better of a leathery Carpi and brings home to 3 heavy points that allow him to stay in a very interesting area of the ranking. A point behind the surprising Cittadella that only for a breath fails the hook in second position in Frosinone and Parma. "Crazy" match, perfectly in line with this series B championship, the Tombolato one between the hosts and Avellino. The Citadel took the lead at the opening with Chiaretti, the guests equalized in the first half with Laverone, then double penalty for the hosts. The first is scored by Iori at the 77º, while at the end of the game, at the 93º everything happens. Litteri is rejected the penalty of the possible 3-1, but that's not all because on the reversal in front, at the same minute 93, is still Laverone to go on the net, giving the Avellino an unexpected point and leaving the Cittadella stunned for the wonderful opportunity wasted. At 27 points the newly promoted couple Cremonese-Venice, both come from a draw for 1-1 against the two Piedmont teams of the tournament, Novara and Pro Vercelli. The grigiorossi after having gone ahead with Scappini, suffer the
Draw of the hosts of Novara with Claiton at 94º, when they thought they had brought home three gold points. Venice, on the other hand, can not bend a pro-Vercelli fighter at home, who does not want to know about being in the lower parts of the league. Pippo Inzaghi's men took the lead with Cernuto at the start of the match, while the whites trained by Grassadonia managed to equalize at the last minute of the first fraction of the game and had even managed to worry the pedestrians of home on more than one occasion. during the recovery.
The playoff area ends here, pursued at the moment by Carpi, defeated by measure and with some recriminations at Empoli. The Emiliani, with their 24 points, are delayed by three lengths from the placement field play off and lead the group of pursuers who actually also try to break away from the dangerous area of the classification that is very little.
At 23 points we find besides the Novara also Salernitana and Perugia that in the advance of Saturday afternoon at the Arechi they had divided the stakes as a result of the Bocalon grenade nets and the tie in extremis of the Perugino Bonaiuto. Together with the trio we find the Spezia that confirms the law of the Peak, beating thanks to a network of the immortal Gilardino an increasingly dangerous Foggia. At 21 points we find the most conspicuous contingent of the tournament, consisting of well 5 teams, the last of which today would face the play-out. These are Virtus Entella, Avellino, Pescara, Brescia and Cesena. Said of Brescia and Avellino, the Romagnoli, in a positive series from some shifts, had defeated and hooked the Pescara at the end of an exciting match ended with the score of 4-2 for the men of Castori. He was twice ahead of the Pescara thanks to the goals of Benali and Pettinari, but first Jallow and then an author of Brugman allow the Romagna to equalize ten minutes from the end and then even serve the poker with Moncini and Donkor for the definitive 4 -2, undoubtedly excessive result for the Pescara of Zeman who is now entangled in a dangerous area of the league.
Together with the four, also the Virtus Entella who at the photo finish resumed a game that had gone bad at the bottom of the rear Ascoli, coached by a Serse Cosmi debut in the Marches and that is spread by a great job if you want to avoid relegation. The hosts had gone ahead with Clemenza to the 3º minute but they had capitulated to the 90º when Aramu had found for the Ligurians the net of the tie that for the Ascoli knows of mockery.
In the middle of the relegation zone, at 18, the trio of Ternana, Foggia and Pro Vercelli. Closes solitary to 15 points Ascoli.
