Messina fails to repeat the midweek success of Acireale and still refers the appointment with the home victory, blocked on 0-0 by a generous paternò and well put on the pitch.
It is the Etnei who have the first occasion of the match with the launch of Branduani for Golfo who, in front of Sorrentino, kicks weakly, while the Giallorossi respond with a low shot of Tourè freed from the Fravola heel. At 21 ‘Messina also manages to score with the header of Sunciani, on the punishment of Zucco, but a network canceled for offside of the defender. First fraction that ends with another punishment of Zucco, out of little, and with a header, from two steps, of Boulahia, which sends high.
In the second half the Paternò, who shows up forward with Capasso, Boulahia and Camara, but do not frame the door of Sorrentino who, instead, rejects the conclusion of Camara well. For Messina only a punishment by Azzara, a parade on the ground by the goalkeeper, while at 46 ‘the only great occasion of the second fraction with Roseti arrives who, in the middle of the small area, shoots beyond the crossbar.
Internal bitterness for the Giallorossi of Mr. Romano who, however, further reduce the penalty, now to -6.
