Chochev saves Palermo

Qualification with a thrill for Palermo, which entered the 4th round of the Coppa Italia by overcoming a stout Bari 1-0 only in the last minute of extra time. The Rosanero will face the winner of Udinese-Spezia, but they do not draw too many positive indications 8 days before their league debut against.

It was decided by Ivaylo Chochev’s goal, which in the 120th minute extinguished Stellone’s team’s hopes of playing it out on penalties with a great conclusion from the distance. Up to that point, the draw had been fair, although Bari had had the best chances, with Monachello, who was stopped twice in the first half by Posavec.

Palermo had the merit of growing at a distance, touching the lead with Rajkovic just before the 90th minute. Then the expulsion of Bari’s Cassani, a former player, and the few rings in overtime before the Bulgarian’s feat.
