Spal, Mazza remains taboo. Molina catches up with Legnago

FERRARAThe Spal it doesn't go beyond a draw against the bottom team Legnago Salus and in fact says goodbye to the last chances of saving oneself without going through the playoutIn the direct clash at the Mazza the white and blues obtain a small point which only serves to keep Bagatti's team at a safe distance, which remains at the bottom of the table. standings at -4 from the white and blues, currently fourth from bottom at -4 from Lucchese who overwhelmed Ternana, +2 on Milan Futuro and +3 on Sestri Levante. Mister Baldini finally decides to line up the team with 4-3-3, with Bruscagin and Nador at the center of the defense and Haoudi and D'Orazio in midfield together with Radrezza. Confirmed the return of Antenucci at the center of the trident, with Parigini on the right and Rao on the left. The start is under the sign of caution: the first 10 minutes - often fatal to the white and blues - pass without jolts, with Calapai who tries without luck with a diagonal that is deflected into a corner. Caution gives way to fear, so much so that until the half hour mark practically nothing happens, except for a personal action by D'Orazio, whose conclusion is unsuccessful, and a strangled shot by Rao that does not worry the Legnago Salus goalkeeper.

And at the first opportunity, Bagatti's team takes the lead: a cross from the left by Muteba and a header by Franzolini, who towers over Mignanelli and beats Mignanelli. Spal's reaction is impalpable, with a shot from the edge of the area by Parigini that Perucchini deflects into a corner. The Massa coach tries to make amends by sending Karlsson onto the pitch in place of the invisible Haoudi, with the aim of increasing the offensive weight of a team that in the first half only tickled the bottom of the class.

Spal tries with a diagonal shot from Antenucci that is blocked by Perucchini near the Icelandic striker, who fails to find the winning tap-in. Karlsson's match ends after a dozen minutes due to a muscular problem that forces the coach to replace him with Molina. Minute after minute, the pressure from the white and blues forces Legnago Salus to retreat into their own half of the field. Perucchini excels twice, first on Parigini and then on Spini, but the Venetian goalkeeper can do nothing about Molina's header, who restores the balance following a corner. After the equaliser, however, Spal struggles to create other scoring opportunities, except for a nice curling left-footed shot from Antenucci that ends up just wide after a transition from the new arrival El Kaddouri. The final push has not come, indeed Spal risks losing at the last gasp. We can only settle for this soup, and with four days to go until the end of the regular season the only certainty is that we will have to suffer.
