PISA The Giallorossi wasted a great opportunity and only managed a draw. Twice they took the lead against Pisa but were unable to take full advantage, allowing them to come back, even risking something at the end. In the end it ends 2-2. For one night, the Nerazzurri were eighth with 45 points, the Giallorossi fifth with 57. Catanzaro took the lead thanks to a lightning goal 30 seconds after kick-off: a corner from the left by Vandeputte and a volley by Pontisso who scored his first goal in the championship. Pisa reacts with the right attitude and creates many opportunities by hitting the crossbar at the beginning of the second half with Bonfanti, then Marin wastes a great opportunity by kicking on Fulignati.
After many chances from the home team, Catanzaro doubled their lead on the counterattack with Ambrosino served by Vandeputte. Pisa is back in the running with new arrival Moreo, third goal in the league, who scores with a header from Beruatto’s corner. In the 37th minute Marin equalized with a deflected shot that fooled Fulignati.
