Authoritative, mature, strong. Catanzaro also gives Padova a lesson, showing muscles and intelligence, winning 3-1 with a goal from Alesi and a brace from Iemmello. The captain’s second center, in injury time, comes after Di Maggio’s right-footed shot (again after 90′) which gives undeserved hope to the Venetians, dominated far and wide. For Aquilani it is the second consecutive full in the series of eight matches without defeats.
