Cosenza takes a point away from Bari. Alvini’s team starts again, proving to be hard to die. The rossoblù finished the first half one goal down but in the second half they remained in numerical superiority, drew, tried to win and then ended with a bit of trouble and were satisfied with the draw.
Bari broke the deadlock in the 39th minute with Pucino, after a previous post by Falletti (shot fouled by Camporese’s deflection). In the second half, Marchetti was called back by the VAR and drew the red card for Lella. Cosenza pushes. He tries with Ciervo (right-footed shot just wide) and equalizes with a penalty from Fumagalli (handball from Saco following a cross from Florenzi) three minutes into the ninetieth minute. The approximately 1300 guests in the guest sector were satisfied. The internal feud with Sassuolo is already behind us.
