Scuffles outside the stadium before Palermo-Parma

Scuffles near the Barbera stadium in Palermo a few minutes before the kick-off of Palermo and Parma. About a hundred Palermo fans threw bottles at the police between via Croce Rossa and via del Carabiniere. The soldiers, in riot gear, lined up even a few meters from the pre-filtering to avoid contact. Tense moment, therefore, with even a car on fire. It would have been the one who unleashed everything the presence of some Catania fans together with Parma supporters.

Reggiana collapse, Cosenza poker: doubles by Tutino and Forte

In the other preview of the 34th day Reggiana collapses at home against Cosenza (first victory for coach Viali at the helm of the rossoblù after two knockouts and two draws), who wins 4-0 at the ‘Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore’ inflicting Alessandro Nesta’s team their third consecutive defeat. The match was immediately uphill for the home team, surprised in the 6th minute Onesie that goes for a header and then forced to replace the injured Sampirisi (inside Romagna in the 15th minute). The Emilian team struggled to react and in the 44th minute they came scored again by Cosenza, again with Tutino which one minute had even hit a pole. In the second half the attacker gives way to Forte (77′), but even by changing the addends the result does not change: a double also for the new entry who first serves the three of a kind (82′) and then the definitive four of a kind (90′). Three very important points in the race to save the Calabrians which are brought to -1 from the same Reggiana, now forced to watch its back by the pursuers.
