Spal loses 2-1 to Albinoleffe: generosity and imprecision cost dearly

A Spal generous but imprecise loses 2-1 at home toAlbinoleffe, in a match full of emotions and missed opportunities. The Estensi paid dearly for the lack of concreteness in front of goal, especially in a dominated second half. A rocket start for the white and blues, who in the first minutes earned six consecutive corner kicks without managing to make an impact. The inertia was all for Spal, in the 18th minute a well-placed cross into the area from the three-quarter line found Camara, who was good at freeing himself and shooting with a sure shot: the intervention of an Albinoleffe defender was miraculous, saving with the tip of his foot. Camara was dangerous again in the 24th minute, he turned well and served Tarolli, who kicked forcefully, finding the response of the home goalkeeper. On the reversal of front, a scare for Spal: Daha beat Osti and crossed, but Kane was providential in clearing the area with Stagni out of goal.

The home team's lead comes in the 35th minute: a deep cross to the far post, a pass from Daha and an overhead kick from Paganessi that beats Stagni from a few steps away. In the second half, Spal picks up the pace and comes close to equalizing several times, but in the 78th minute the home team doubles their lead. The white and blues don't give up and close the gap in the 93rd minute with Camara, who takes advantage of an initiative on the wing by Torre and finishes from the center of the area.
