OLBIA
Audience in celebration, but it is the guest one. The large curve of the Reggiana fans at the end of the match explodes with joy because they understand the value of the victory snatched in Sardinian soil.
Olbia gets the applause but remains short of points. The 0-1 of the “Nespoli” is a trauma that will now be metabolized. Yes, because the whites field one of the most intense matches of the season, attentive and at times brilliant, but the mockery comes on a penalty – and there is no lack of controversy over the alleged foul of Travaglini against Arrighini: the sporting director Tatti is expelled from the bench, the coach Canzi in the conference is a fury.
Reggiana starts without Cigarini and Lanini, but both are decisive as substitutes, the first with the cross that propitiates the penalty, the second is a scorer from just eleven meters.
The game flows in the sign of balance, Reggiana keeps the ball in the game but without proving too dangerous. For its part, Olbia is orderly and precise in the non-possession phase, enterprising and not very lucid when it is proposed forward. In the account of the actions the two teams are equal, among the whites stands out Biancu who tries on a couple of occasions the shot from the edge, his specialty, but without ever finding the door.
The guests celebrate for the first time in the first half, at 35 ‘, when at the end of an action at speed D’Angelo seems to jump higher than Ciocci and bags into the net. He rejoices, but the referee notices the touch with his arm, a warning and nothing.
The real goal arrives in the 73rd minute, when Lanini chooses the left corner on a penalty. The goalkeeper from Olbia senses but does not get there.
