Unhoped for, suffered, wonderful. The most tenacious and organized Catanzaro of the season wins the first championship match and does so against a battleship like Palermo. Cisse decides it in injury time in the first half, but everyone wins. In particular Aquilani, who saved the bench with a well-deserved and unexpected success.
