Between Salernitana and Cesena it ends 1-1 and it all happens in the first half. Flash of Green, Bianconeri in great difficulty with many second rows on the field, then Tavsan lights up and first causes the expulsion of the goalkeeper Granata Fiorillo, and then equalized with a great goal from the left. Cesena plays the entire second half in numerical superiority but Salernitana defends well and takes home a more than deserved point. For Cavalluccio it was a draw that he did not regret considering that the second half was played with one more man, the entrances of Adamo, Antonucci and Shpendi were not enough. In the first half, the Bianconeri were in clear trouble, the turnover made by Mignani seemed excessive, a game that had just left Tavsan, the only Dutchman who showed considering the inconclusive performance of Van Hooijdoonk, deployed from the first minute. . Also among the negative notes is the management of the match director Scatena, especially in relation to the distribution of yellow cards. The away win has been postponed again, Cesena-Sudtirol will be played on November 3 at the Manuzzi.
