4-1 of Monopoli to Foggia in a derby that started badly for the black and greens but continued much better, with three great goals. The match. Emergency in midfield for Foggia, who must manage Mazzocco and Gargiulo (basically the only ones available in their role) and relaunches Vezzoni in the middle. Out Tascone, Da Riva, and Danzi. None of the three goes to the bench. In Monopoli, Colombo must do without the injured Vazquez, who is not even on the bench, making room for Yeboah in the center of the attack. First time from the start in the championship for Simone Calvano, deployed alongside De Risio. First time from the start also for Bruschi. Confirmation for the three behind, Cristallo, Miceli and Bizzotto. The first half that begins with Foggia in the lead: corner by Emmausso, winning header by Salines and the home team in the lead taking advantage of a slumber by the defense. The first thirteen minutes are a nightmare for the black and greens, who struggle especially in coming out on the outside. But in the 14th minute Viteritti invents the goal of Sunday: the Calabrian winger frees himself with his right foot and then unleashes a deadly left foot under the crossbar. Here the match changes. In the 17th minute the black and greens take the lead: this time it is Calvano who frees himself from twenty meters, a shot under the crossbar and Monopoli who takes the score to 1-2. Foggia is deadly from the three-quarter line onwards, but suffers terribly when they are caught behind the two midfielders. Thus Yeboah and Scipioni come close to scoring the third goal on the counterattack, while on the other side Zunno and Emmausso come close to equalizing. A match without any particular tactics and the first half ends 1-2. At the start of the second half Yabre comes on immediately in place of a disorganized Pace. In the 7th minute, Monopoli’s third goal: Bruschi unleashes a sensational free kick from 25 meters that dies under the crossbar. Nothing to be done for De Lucia. If he doesn’t make them beautiful, Monopoli isn’t happy. In the 16th minute, Brambilla tries everything: with the three changes, the Rossoneri coach switches to 3-4-1-2. For Monopoli, Angileri and Ferrini come in first, then Battocchio. In the 27th minute, Bruschi from the edge, great save by De Lucia. In the 29th minute, Santaniello tries an overhead kick, the ball goes high. First chance for Murano in the 31st minute, header out. In the 38th minute, Bruschi counterattacks, but Parodi stops him at the best moment. But the appointment with the fourth goal is only postponed: in the 41st minute, Yabre for Yeboah, sensational post from two steps away, but Bulevardi arrives in tow and blasts it into the net, repeating the goal scored in the Coppa Italia. Yeboah finds time to get himself sent off for a naive foul on Salines, but in the end the green and whites just have to manage. It ends 1-4 and it is the second victory in the championship in three games.
