The Eagles took a 2-0 lead but the home team recovered in the final stages
All in all a fair draw, even if Catanzaro has something to regret given how it has matured. Ready to go and the Eagles immediately find the advantage with Pontisso who volleyed a corner kick taken by Vandeputte into the net in the 1st minute, scoring a Eurogoal. From there Pisa’s long run begins, made up of ball possession, but also of a lot of running and pressing, without however being able to find an opening in the attentive GialloRossa defence. On the other hand, the Tuscans have the best opportunities when the guests dribble behind and sometimes make careless mistakes, giving away scoring opportunities that the Nerazzurri are not ready to exploit. The maximum pressure and suffering for GialloRossa occurs when at the beginning of the second half the hosts have a series of opportunities, the most sensational of which was the crossbar hit by Bonfanti with a sure shot, the ball bouncing off the woodwork and returning to the pitch. Catanzaro is good at letting the time pass and taking advantage of a mistake by the hosts who in the 63rd minute do not implement the preventive closure, leaving Vandeputte free to fly towards Nicolas, the Belgian’s pass to Ambrosino it’s a perfect invitation to go online that the young player from Napoli doesn’t miss. The Eagles go two-nil, compromising the match.
At this point, however, Catanzaro is perhaps resting on the result achieved. In the 74th minute a wrong marking on the kick of a corner allows the new substitute Moreo to beat Fulignati with a precise header to cross to the opposite post. Again in the 81st minute, an incorrect exit by Pompetti allows for a goal Marin to go for the shot which is fouled by Pompetti himself, causing the ball to take an uncatchable parabola for Fulignati. At two by two both teams lowered the pace while not disdaining to attempt a coup, but after 5 minutes of injury time the referee blew the whistle to end the match.
With this draw, Catanzaro rises to 57 points which guarantees the GialloRossi the mathematical certainty of competing in the PlayOffs. For Pisa, a draw that serves to reach Sampdoria at 45 points with the Blucerchiati still having to take the field in this round.
