A mockery at the end for Crotone, defeated by Trapani despite a display of great intensity. Unlucky start for the rossoblù, who immediately lost Andreoni, but reacted with character: in the 17th minute Gomez headed in Zunno’s cross to make it 1-0. The advantage lasts a minute, because Fischnaller equalizes with a precise left foot. Crotone continues to push, coming close to doubling their lead several times with Maggio and Gomez himself, but lacks concreteness in front of goal. In the second half, Longo introduced Piovanello, who was immediately the protagonist: he created dangers, won corners and kept the Sicilian defense worried. The Pythagoreans dominate in possession and intensity, claim a penalty on Piovanello (not awarded by VAR), but fail to find the overtaking goal. And in recovery comes the insult: Grandolfo stands out from a corner and scores the 1-2 which freezes the “Scida”. At the end of the match, president Vrenna confirmed his trust in Longo: “The coach cannot be touched, in fact we have already talked about renewing the two-year contract”.
