Heavyweight victory for Modena, which won the Serie B post-match played at Braglia by narrowly beating direct salvation contender Livorno.
The Canarini struck in the 22nd minute of the first half thanks to Luppi, who was the quickest of all to rebound into the net after a short clearance by Pinsoglio on Rubin’s shot.
The Amaranthos try to fight back but until halftime they are dangerous only on spot kicks. In the second half Fedato came close to equalizing with a header, but the ball went out by a whisker. In the final big regrets for Panucci’s team, which hits the crossbar with Baez. In the standings, the Emilians move up to 35, the Tuscans remain at 32, in fourth-last place in the standings.
