Another overwhelming victory for Reggina who scored four goals against Avola, achieved their third consecutive victory and maintained their lead in the standings. Beyond the numbers, Amaranth is a significant success. The team knew how to wait for the right moment to strike against an opponent who thought above all about defending themselves and up until the goal conceded they had offered an excellent performance for their potential. Three points made even more precious by the fact that his team changed several men in the midweek round, demonstrating how deep the squad is and of absolute quality.
Breaking the match wasn’t easy, but once we found the advantage the road went downhill. After Rotulo’s first goal (assisted by Rossetti after a great run with the ball), Marchionni’s men spread. Immediate doubling with a header from Magrassi (perfect cross from Laaribi). In the second half came the third score from Domenico Girasole (who had just entered the pitch) with his usual header following the development of a corner and Jallow’s first amaranth center on Alma’s serve. The latter had previously seen a penalty blocked by Santillo, demonstrating how Reggina’s success could have been even greater.
