Reggina starts again with determination and leaves the defeat against Acireale behind them, winning 2-0 on the Igea Virtus field in the second half of the 27th matchday of Serie D. A victory that is worth the placement in fourth place in the standings, 4 points behind league leaders Athletic Palermo. Match decided in the second half: after an attempt by Provazza neutralized by Lagonigro, Reggina took the lead in the 7th minute with Edera, who scored a precise and powerful free kick. The guests continue to push and come close to doubling their lead with Di Grazia, close to scoring a header. On the other hand, Lagonigro confirms himself as attentive and confident. The 2-0 arrived in the 21st minute: Mungo finalized Distratto’s assist and effectively closed the match. In the final, nothing significant happens anymore and Alfio Torrisi’s team takes home three precious points in the race for the top positions.
