Crotone wins at home after three months, beats Monopoli and earns the playoffs. Now last effort in Avellino

Minimum playoff objective. Crotone achieved it, with great difficulty if you look at the progress of the season. A championship with two speeds. An acceptable first round in which the rossoblù also came within a few points of the top of the rankings. Then the return round, the departure of Petriccione, a disastrous repair market just as the whole round was disastrous with changes of coaches, resignations and returns. In the last home match of the regular season against Monopoli, Zauli’s team managed to achieve victory thanks to the final half hour where Gomez and his teammates managed to overturn De Risio’s opening goal. A home success that came after 105 days (last triumph at Scida against Catania on 7 January) but an hour of football that no one liked if it is true that the Crotone players’ plays were often underlined by whistles. In the second half, after the substitutions of D’Ursi and D’Errico, Crotone reversed the trend of the match thanks to Tumminello’s brace with a header (and controversial celebration) and the third goal, the safety one, by Gomez. In between many things, the opening post by Gomez with a header, the winning half overhead kick by Di Risio, the woodwork hit by the former Borello. Now the last 90 minutes of the championship remain with the last trip to Avellino. A match that could give an even more comfortable position to Crotone who could even play the first day of the playoff with a single home match.
