Parma slows down, Venezia hooks it up, Cremonese and Como run
In the cadetteria there are now two teams ahead of everyone.
Parma held back at home by Modena, Venezia irresistible in Bari. That's the outcome of the two main Serie B matches on Saturday: the Ducali don't go beyond 1-1 at the Tardini, while the 3-0 away win allows the Lagunari to join the Emiliani on 30 points in the standings.
Venezia pulled ahead in Bari already in the first half, thanks to Pierini's signing on 30'. It was only in the end of the game that it stretched the distance further: goals by Tessmann and Dembele came in fact at 90' and even at 97'. Parma-Modena, on the other hand, was all decided in the second half, with the guest advantage by Duca at 59' and Partipilo finding the 1-1 at 93' after Man had missed a penalty kick.
Third at 5 points from the two leaders è now Cremonese, on its third consecutive victory: the 1-0 grigiorosso over Lecco è decided by Castagnetti at 20'. One point further back is Como, which beat FeralpiSalò 2-1; in an all-Lombard derby (Da Cunha and Gabrielloni scored, with Compagnon’s temporary equalizer in between).
Cittadella also re-enters the playoff zone, thanks to a 2-1 home win over Südtirol (Pandolfi and Pittarello scored for the hosts, Casiraghi for the Altoatesini).
Drawings on the other fields: in fact, both Pisa-Brescia (scored by Moreo and Bjarnason) and Reggiana-Ascoli (Mendes and Pieragnolo) ended 1-1.
