Complicated and fundamental match for Modena at the Braglia Stadium, in the Serie B preview. The Canaries host Catanzaro, unbeaten in their last five away matches. Bianco confirms the starting 11 used against Ternana, with Tremolada from the 1st minute.
FIRST HALF
Modena’s aggressive start to the match, which in the 2nd minute finds a good combination between Gliozzi and Duca, with the number 9 playing for the midfielder, who shoots but finds the deflection of an opponent. The Canaries did much better in the first minutes of the game, with an important opportunity saved on the line by the Catanzaro defence. However, on the Calabrians’ first attack, in the 17th minute, Catanzaro found the advantage with Iemmello, who took advantage of Vandeputte’s through assist very well; Posi was guilty, too soft in tackling the opposing number 9. In the 25th minute the Belgian midfielder, who had previously provided the assist for Iemmello, found the sensational second, thanks to a shot from the edge of the area to the bottom corner; the pressure from the yellow-blue rearguard was too gentle, allowing Vandeputte to kick undisturbed. A lively and heated match, which Modena reopened thanks to Luca Tremolada’s goal, which in the 35th minute he put in after various counterattacks by the Catanzaro defense in a frenetic action.
SECOND HALF
Modena immediately started strong again in the second half, with Gliozzi who almost headed a cross from the right and went close to the post, to the left of Fulignati. After various opportunities for the yellow-blues, including a shot by Duca in the area saved by the goalkeeper, Catanzaro found the 3-1 on the restart, with Iemmello serving Ambrosino for the goal into an empty net; However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR check due to an offside at the start of the play. The third goal for Vivarini’s team came shortly after, in the 69th minute, with substitute Sounas serving Iemmello perfectly, cold in the area in front of Seculin for his own brace. A goal that cut Modena’s legs, as after the 3-1 they no longer found the strength needed to be dangerous. Game that ends with Catanzaro’s possession of the ball and the deafening whistles of the Braglia fans, who throw a smoke bomb onto the pitch, near Fulignati’s goal, as a sign of protest. At the end of the match the chant against the yellow coach also rises: “Bianco go away”.
