Messina loses again and, after the defeat against Team Altamura, loses at home to Sorrento, who capitalizes on Bolsius’ goal to the maximum. Performance, especially in the second half, not up to par for a team forced to recover and score points with a view to safety. In the first half, however, the locals scored twice: in the 16th minute Frisenna crossed to Petrungaro who, at the far post, volleyed home a right-footed shot, but the referee ruled it out for offside; in the 33rd minute Petrungaro sees Garofalo, a first-time right-footed shot headed for the top corner, Del Sorbo saves in the corner and, in the 36th minute, Petrungaro’s corner and header by Marino, who scores but another goal is disallowed due to a foul by the same defender on Panico.
Sorrento, on the other hand, can only be seen with Bolsius who, in the 25th minute, anticipates Krapikas coming out, slips away and finishes but Marino moves away a few steps from the goal, while in the 43rd minute the same attacker calls on Krapikas to deflect his low shot.
The second half starts at a higher pace but it is Sorrento who strikes by taking advantage of an indecision from the Giallorossi defence: in the 12th minute there is a panic in the area for Colangiuli, who puts it in the middle, Musso touches it and a comfortable goal from Bolsius into an empty net. At 0-1 we expect a reaction from Messina which isn’t there: we move forward with few ideas and with conclusions, without effects, from Anatriello, Frisenna and Re, while the Campanians come close to doubling their lead twice with Musso, first, blocked by Krapikas and then shoots high. After 5 minutes of injury time, Sorrento rejoices, returning to success after three days, while Messina’s path to salvation is even more complicated.
