Crotone roars back in front of their fans, offering proof of maturity and quality that confirms the progress of recent weeks. Against a willing but inconsistent Sorrento, Longo’s team imposes pace, ideas and personality, often giving the sensation of being a step ahead both technically and mentally. Gomez’s penalty and the goals from Maggio and Piovanello were decisive, rendering the temporary 2-1 score scored by Sabbatani in vain.
