Reggiana, third draw in a row in Catanzaro

Reggio Emilia, 2 March 2025 – Third draw in a row for the Reggiana: Catanzaro we can talk about an excellent point, given that the Giallorossi are fourth and have only lost one in the last 22 games, but there is a bitter taste in the mouth because until the 75th minute the Granata were ahead thanks to Vido's sixth goal.

Not only that: in the first half Reggiana would have also deserved the second goal. A first half made of orderly defense and lethal counterattacks. This is how the goal was born, with Marras serving to I give you a ball to place in the net (good job by the “diez” with his left foot). Then interesting opportunities, like the one by Ignacchiti on the outside of the net.

In recovery, inevitably, here comes the fierce return of the locals. The goal comes in the 75th minute with a left-footed shot by Scognamillo: long check by the Var to check for possible offside, but the Granata while protesting for a possible previous foul on Reinhart on the edge of the Granata area.

VAR also checked a foul by Brighenti in midfield, punished with a yellow card: vigorous intervention, but no VAR call and no red card.

It ends 1-1: Reggiana rises to 31 points and is in 13th place. At 17.15 there is Bari-Sampdoria which closes the 28th round of B (granata temporarily +2 on the playouts).

Next round still in Calabria: on Friday we go to Cosenza (20.30:22 p.m.). The “wolves”, last with 1 points, today drew 1-XNUMX in Modena. Gondo will not be there on Friday: he was on a yellow card and was cautioned.
