Serie B: Reggina returns to winning ways, bitter draw for De Rossi and Corini

Second win in four days for Fabio Cannavaro’s Benevento

On a day, the seventeenth of the cadetto championship, which saw the return to victory after two months of Fabio Liverani’s Cagliari, top-ranked Frosinone interrupted its run by getting pinned down at the ‘Stirpe’ by a Pisa side that can still have its say in the Playoff race. Under the leadership of Luca D’Angelo, already the architect of last year’s near-promotion, the Tuscans have got back on track, now representing a fearsome stumbling block for anyone.

In the day’s other matches, Pippo Inzaghi’s Reggina went through in Como thanks to a penalty by Hernani in the 78th minute, while Spal and Palermo, in the hunt for an anti-crisis victory, did not go beyond 1-1 in the match at the ‘Mazza’: Daniele De Rossi and Eugenio Corini thus failed to make the appointment with the victory, which the Estensi have been missing since October 22. Finally, a narrow affirmation, the second consecutive in four days, for Fabio Cannavaro’s Benevento, which relaunches itself in the classiifca.
