First half played at good pace by both teams, capable of giving life to different emotions and scoring opportunities. Castrovilli first tries for the guests, then at 19 ‘comes the Emilian advantage thanks to the beautiful and lucky play of Traore, who overcomes two opponents by winning a rebound and chilling Dragowski with a right to the corner. The scoring follows one another from one side to the other, Traore fails to double his head on a cross from Lopez (hit the top of the crossbar), close to the interval instead it is the Viola who touches the equalizer a couple of times with Ikone, walled in both cases by Councils.
In the second half, the Italian team continues to press in search of a draw, but the number of scoring falls dramatically compared to the first fraction.
