Nine years. Such is the time that has passed sinceBari’s last victory in Modena, which dates back to the 2014-’15 Serie B championship, when Davide Nicola sat on the Galletti bench. That team was called to travel to Emilia, which now awaits Iachini’s troops on Easter Monday, the twenty-eighth matchday of that cadet year, scheduled precisely on February 28, 2015.
It was the red and white who signed the victory, with an in-depth assist from Bellomo Kingsley Boateng, piercing today’s Juventus player Pinsoglio in the 24th minute, then doing well on a couple of occasions to prevent the Apulians from doubling their lead, stopping the attempts of Galano and the goal scorer himself with excellent saves. The Modena team, led by Mr. Novellino, came close to equalizing in the second half with a strike from Zoboli, which was lifted for a corner by Guarna.
The season of the Bari club, beyond that illusory victory, was stingy with satisfactions, with the then Paparesta club he failed to reach the playoff goal, finishing the championship in tenth place. Modena’s path was even more difficult. Precisely that defeat against Bari cost Novellino his benchreplaced by Mauro Melottiwhich led the Canaries to a tiring salvation, obtained with two draws in the playouts at the expense of Virtus Entella, after finishing the year eighteenth.
