Posillipo did better at the start, after the initial goal by Michele Luongo the Neapolitans organize a reactive zone in the doubles and find in Spinelli a bulwark of fundamental importance.

Masini – DeepBlueMedia), who shows that he has a very hot hand: hat-trick in the first 16′ for the attacker, who contributes to the 4-1 with two goals and then closes the second quarter with the 5-3 goal, after the partial comeback of the Giallorossi signed from Rooster And Gallozzi.
In the third quarter the defense of Rari Nantes Salerno continues to leak, Posillipo hits from the perimeter, but also finds holes in which to slip in to beat Vassal undersized. The Giallorossi only manage to limit the damage by exploiting their numerical superiority, but they also have to thank a couple of inventions Goreta if, in the 24th minute, the score is only 9-7 for the Neapolitans. At the start of the last quarter, however, Posillipo loses Lots of it And Pino Porzio, sent off for protests by Brasiliano who a few moments earlier had conceded a potential +3 penalty to the rossoverdi: the referee goes back on his decision after realizing that the 20” of possession had run out before Goreta’s foul on Aiello, the the Neapolitan technician can no longer see and, after the red light, leaves the facility screaming in anger. The episode could allow Rari Nantes Salerno to turn the game around, also because the last quarter opens with Gallo’s penalty for -1 (9-8). But Posillipo manages to keep calm and twice rejects Rari Nantes Salerno’s attack attempts, first with Brigands (10-8) and then with Serino, scoring in a counterattack after Gallo’s 10-9 goal and a bloody turnover by the home team. The 11-9 of the centreboa arrives 3’03” from the end, Rari would have time to recover, but the Giallorossi collect turnovers in the face of the tight defense of the Neapolitans, who definitively close the match with the left-footed Radojevic. The salvation derby is not over yet.

Despite the absence of Giorgio TorrisiCatania immediately shows itself lively in attack, especially thanks to the pair formed by Catania and Muscat. The Vis Nova exists, thanks above all to De Robertis And Viskovic, but Calcaterra’s team is also appreciated for some beautiful plays in numerical superiority.
