On the “green table” of the “tupparello”, the Reggina falls poker, overcoming with large margin and full merit the Acireale, at the end of a race that brought out the significant consistency between the two contenders. The guests, at the fourth victory in a row, confirmed that they have the credentials to aim for promotion, regardless of what the ranking says today. The first lunge is from the Acese brand, a diagonal of Vasil which, after just 45 seconds, is lost slightly to the side. To see the Reggini at work, the 11th minute must be wait, when Ragusa hits the pole to the right of Zizzania. At the middle of about time the hosts return to get alive with Mokulu, whose pitch-Cross engaged Lagonigro in an intervention, all in all, affordable. At the stroke of half an hour, the conclusion of Botta of Iuliano is rejected with skill by the extreme Calabrian defender. Less than a couple of minutes and Reggina takes the lead. The score Barillà who, on the developments of a corner kick deliciously brushed by Salandria, first captures the underlying part of the crossbar and then bags on the net. The grenades accuse the blow and, supported by the Verve di Paglia and Vasil, begin to grind one action after the other, but the only concrete result is the limit of the young man of Mauro, among the few to save himself from the grayness Acese , which Lagonigro neutralizes without worries. At the end of the regulatory time, then before the 4 minutes of recovery granted by the valid papagno, the Reggiors double: launch of Barillà from the mid -field and diagonal of Ragusa from the right that pierces the goalkeeper Acese. We go to rest with the guests in double advantage and for the recovery there is a more energetic reaction from the hosts. Which, however, does not arrive. And, in truth, the Calabrians seem to pay for the detachment until that moment inflicted on the opponents, therefore, they do not press the accelerator much. For this reason, during the second half we will not register anything, if not the other two markings of the guests. The first part of the recovery is exclusively dedicated to the changes, two on each side, such as not to upset both tactical sides. Then, near the half hour, Barillà signs his personal brace, after having stamped the crossbar, and at this point all hope of avoiding defeat for the grenades. The game begins to stay along the middle line, so that the respective goalkeepers remain inoperous. The Calabrians administer the triple advantage without difficulty and, probably, they don’t even imagine that they can increase the detachment, as will then happen in the final. After the Tris four other replacements, equally divided, and in the “Cesarini area” it is up to Barranco to close the bill, exploiting an inviting suggestion of Barillà who places him in a position to center a few steps. It is still played for about ten minutes and, then, the triple whistle arrives that “delivers” the victory number 14 to the Reggio and projects them to the top of the scored goals scored. Not bad in view of the direct clash with Syracuse, scheduled for next Sunday.
