Cosenza regains success before the break that will lead to the derby with Catanzaro. With the three points won against Reggiana, Fabio Caserta’s team will now have the opportunity to work without pressure in the next two weeks. The rossoblù, after three matches without success, interrupted the positive streak of former sporting director Roberto Goretti’s granata.
A goal in each half was enough for the Wolves to restore confidence in the environment. The match was broken after 23 minutes by Voca. The former Lucerne player confirmed himself as lethal in the attacking midfield position and, following his offensive action at the right times, he turned on goal after a previous attempt by Forte following an illuminating through pass by Praszelik.
At the start of the second half, Baroni revoked a penalty kick previously awarded to the guests with the help of the monitor. He had no doubts then, at the end, when Kabashi brought down Florenzi: Tutino reiterated the goal after Bardi’s previous save, thus breaking a long fast.
