Crotone. Marco Tumminello’s first goal of the season gives Longo’s Crotone the passage to the first qualifying round of the Coppa Italia Serie C. They narrowly beat the eager Messina of Modica. After a soporific first half, the game lights up in the second half with the entrance of the Roman striker who, going to position himself in the three-quarter line, behind the striker (Gomez), manages to give vivacity and unpredictability to the offensive maneuver of the Sharks who on Sunday 18 will be on stage at the “Massimino” stadium against Catania of mister Toscano.
