The agony of Cosenza ended in Bolzano and is the chronicle of an announced death. Already at the end of the transfer market, the feeling that the rossoblùs did not have the qualities to react to a situation already compromised at that time. The seal came with 2-1 with SouthTirol. Second relegation in seven years of Serie B (the first was canceled from the revocation of the national license to Chievo Verona), in a category in which the rossoblù lived almost perpetually in suffering. For Guarascio, in addition to working to guarantee a future for Cosenza, it now becomes a duty to speak and illustrate what his plans are: he will give in to the mayor in February or will he go on in an atmosphere of total hostility? In Bolzano, Alvini presented himself surprisingly with Zilli, a great protagonist of the advantage when at 18 ‘he exploited Masiello’s error. He won the physical duel with the former Bari and Pietrangeli and then put a sweet ball in the center that Mazzocchi had only had to worry about leaning on the head net. The advantage Cosentino, after a South Tyrolean penalty first granted and then revoked following the Hon-Field-Review, resisted until the first minute of recovery of the first fraction. Southtirol drew with a shot from outside the area of Simone Davi diverted by Molina a few meters from the door of Micai. In the second half the formation of Alvini, after a vehement departure, quickly melted. Sgarbi closed decisively on Odogwu (6 ‘). The striker, launched by Casiraghi, five minutes later hit the post after a touch of corporal. In the quarter of an hour the mission of Cosenza became impossible because Florenzi, already warned, committed a sensational naivety sinking on Masiello after incorrect control; Tremolada did not hesitate even a moment and waved the second red of the season in his face (as in Carrara it was a double yellow). The red and white, in numerical superiority, continued to push and at 23 ‘they completed the comeback when on the cross from the right of Vessels, Davi S. had time to coordinate and cross near the left pole of Micai. The Silani made themselves dangerous only with a punishment by Rizzo Pinna, deviated on the crossbar by Adamonis, and a wide artistic shot.
