BUSALLA - One Spezia growing draws on the difficult pitch of BusallaIn the first few minutes Iaccarino blocks the conclusions of Landro and Lopez, then the eagles start to grind out the game: Bernardi engages Accardo from a distance, then Bernardi herself starts the action of Berti whose low shot goes just wide. In the second half Pittaluga tries in a melee but shortly after the visitors take the lead: Marcarelli wins a penalty that Bernardi converts for 0-1. Spezia then comes close to doubling the score: Scarascia exchanges with Bernardi but Accardo saves the result. Having escaped the danger, Busalla goes back forward: Iaccarino saves on Gallione and Repetto, the locals have the merit of believing and at the end they find the equaliser with Grease.
