Messina regains a victory that was missing for almost a month and a half and abandons the direct relegation zone: overcoming CastrumFavara and grabbing third-to-last place in the standings. The 2-1 against Acireale is the result of a game of great suffering, resolved by two inactive balls well kicked by Garufi and scored by Tedesco after 100″ and by Roseti in the 76th minute. In the middle there are few emotions, an Acireale who had drawn the equalizer in the 13th minute with the turn in the center of the area by Karol Di Mauro following an assist from Samuele Di Stefano. Messina suffers, does not find the right distances between the departments, but grows in the recovery, despite not creating any danger in Negri’s area. Just a quarter of an hour later, while Parisi is preparing three substitutions in the series and an invitation to show his character comes from the corner, Roseti’s winning goal arrives, the fourth of his championship, all at home and all decisive.
