The Bari wakes up too late, with the Pisa a point arrives, despite a good second half. At the San Nicola game with two faces: in the first half Federico Giampaolo’s team – making their debut on the red and white bench – seemed the same as the last two months, slow, staid and lacking courage; in the second half, however, it’s a completely different story.
Even the fate doesn’t seem very different compared to the last few weeks, when Pisa found the net after 3′ with the first shot, with Arturo Calabresi (formerly of Lecce, among other things). More Nerazzurri than Red and White in the first half, except for some good play from Puscas. The equalizer came fifteen minutes into the second half: Calabresi touched it with his arm, the referee remained at the VAR monitor for a long time, then awarded the penalty (he had already given it from the field). Puscas displaces a superlative Nicolas for the entire 90′. In the final, Bari tries several times, Benali wastes from a good position, but it’s not enough to win. Just one point, which barely moves the standings and doesn’t chase away the ghosts. But Bari has woken up and given the last few months it’s no small thing.
