ALTOPASCIO - Two draws and a defeat in the last three home games, where the success has been missing for two months: only one victory in the last seven games. These are the numbers of Tau, former leader, now slipped to fourth place. Of course the injuries of Lombardo, Bruzzo, Rinaldini and Bongiorni have had a big impact. In the game against Progresso di Castelmaggiore the final reaction must be saved, in a match in which the first shot on target arrived only in the 21st minute of the second half.

First half without any surprises, with a couple of long-range shots off target. The only thrill, so to speak, was a high header by Biagioni. After the break, there were a few more signs of liveliness. Maltoni surprised Biagioni and took off: the Amaranth defender (Tau in a white suit for the occasion) committed a foul and the Emilians wanted a red card. After a free kick by Atzeni that went wide, finally there was the first shot on goal, by Carcani, for the home team, on the counterattack: Cheli's feline foot blocked the home team's shot. After half an hour, a long-range shot by Corzani, slightly deflected, fooled Cabella. At 35', Stellacci's foul was judged to be the last man and he was sent off. Bolognese were down to ten men who barricaded themselves.

Tau who throws balls into the area and, on one of these, in the 91st minute, Motti controls and, with his left foot, strikes Cheli. It's the final 1-1.
