Bari feat: 3-0 away and salvation, Ternana in C

Salvation comes with a great comeback, on the last possible date.

Bari still in Serie B, Ternana relegating to C. This is the outcome of the Playout return that saw at the Liberati stadium the guests prevail with a round 3-0. Great joy for the biancorossi, very bitter the evening of the hosts who by virtue of the end-of-season standings had two out of three results available to keep the category.

The start of the evening, moreover, did not portend such an outcome for Ternana. The hosts built the first action of the match with Carboni, resisted Sibilli’s reply (careful Iannarilli) and then also tried with Amatucci and Favasuli. Bari began to build its lead after the half-hour mark on the Sibilli-Di Cesare axis, then passed in the first-half recovery thanks to a stunt of the team captain himself (on his 41st birthday).

Ternana would only need a goal to save itself, but at 52'è Bari still scored. Thanks to Giacomo Ricci, who exploited in the best possible way a loose ball in the area on Dorval’s initiative and on which Ternana’s defense failed to intervene effectively. His turn that mocks Favasuli and Iannarilli in fact closes a game that the hosts are no longer able to recover.

Last ring redverde è in fact a conclusion targata Distefano on which opposes Pissardo. Then at 64' Sibilli makes the most of a ball recovered by Dorval to get past Dalle Mura and then sign Bari’s tris. Nasti and Dorval could make the gap in the score even wider, and only an offside denied Benali the poker. But it was of little use: victory, and consequent salvation, had already arrived for Bari.
