Victory of nerves, three points resulting from that character now inherent in the DNA of Igea Virtus. The Giallorossi team takes the direct clash against Athletic Palermo, jumping alone to the top of the table by virtue of Savoia’s simultaneous half-step misstep. Marra’s men were heroic and stoic, capitalizing on Samake’s fourteenth goal of the championship and then resisting the return of the nerorosa with ten men.
