It ends in a draw, 0-0 the advance of the first day of the Serie B championship between Bari and Palermo. But the match is full of emotions, with two expulsions in the ranks of the Pugliese at the beginning of the second half: direct red to Maita in the 50th minute, double caution to Di Cesare in the 66th minute and penalty awarded to Palermo, but Di Mariano kicks it high.
In the 10th minute of the second half, Palermo found the lead with Brunori but the goal was annulled by Var for offside with the Pugliese fans celebrating for the point earned despite the double numerical inferiority.
Also attending the match was the president of the Lega di Serie B, Mauro Balata. “Finally we are starting again and we are back to talking about soccer played. Expectations are, as always, very high – his words to Sky’s microphones before the match – We want to confirm ourselves as the most unpredictable and hard-fought league in Europe, a fact that emerged from a special research.
We have to safeguard all our many and wonderful fans in Serie BKT.Serie B is the best project for the future of Italian soccer. We must give confidence to our young people and let them express themselves in a league that is increasingly competitive and of the highest level, like ours,” Balata added.
