Third consecutive defeat for Cosenza. Pitch darkness for the Sila club a few days before the derby. A bitter Christmas full of controversy due to an increasingly confused and approximate corporate strategy. At the Stadio dei Marmi, the rossoblù were pierced by a Eurogoal from Cicconi. The first attempt, in the quarter of an hour, is by Cerri who heads in Schiavi’s cross but sends it high. A minute later Carrarese is much more dangerous because Shpendi, in the center of the area, hits the crossbar on Cherubini’s cross. Then in the 21st minute, Micai blocks Cicconi’s attempt. Cosenza remained with ten men shortly after the half hour mark due to Florenzi’s double yellow card. The rossoblù try to come alive at the other end in injury time but Bleve blocks Fumagalli’s free kick. In the second half, Alvini appears with Mazzocchi and Ciervo instead of Fumagalli and Ricci. The Latina winger, in the sixth, comes back on the right but doesn’t find the target. Carrarese becomes dangerous again in the quarter of an hour. Ricciardi recovers the ball but then loses it back in the area, Shpendi shoots diagonally but Micai does well to block it. The Tuscans attack but produce little until thirteen minutes from the end when they score the 1-0 with an invention by Cicconi. Calabro’s winger coordinates perfectly and puts the ball into the corner following a suggestion from Zuelli’s flag. An extraordinary goal that condemns Cosenza.
