Siena-Pescara 1-1, the bianconeri sack Gilardino
The cross between greats in crisis does not smile on anyone, with Siena and Pescara what are they doing 1-1 and continue in the respective strips no. A victory in the last 7 for the Abruzzese and a victory in the last 5 for the Tuscans, so both suffer the overtaking of the Imolese and find themselves in the group of sixths. A situation for which, at the moment, only Alberto Gilardino pays, who has no longer been the coach of Siena since the early afternoon.
Yet, in the challenge in question, the bianconeri have the mitigation of an hour played in ten, because already at the 38th Mora holds Nzita e gets the second yellow. This in the first half in which Siena do better both before and after the expulsion. First there is the corner of Disanto, on which Terzi is just high, and Pezzella’s cross for Varela’s header, the ball is in the bag but there is a millimeter offside and it is not valid. After the expulsion instead of Disanto’s cross again for Varela’s head, Di Gennaro is phenomenal and on the rebound the defense moves away. And again Disanto from the flag for Bianchi’s safe squash, Di Gennaro overtakes himself again.
Finally, in the recovery of the fraction, the much coveted goal: long Juventus action and ball that splashes to the limit from Pezzella, on whose flying turn Frascatore deviates and the goalkeeper, this time, can do nothing. It is minute 47 of the first half, and always at 47, but we are at the beginning of the second half, the draw arrives. In the interval Auteri fine Ferrari and takes us in full, with the center forward who immediately stands on the assist of Nzita and crushes the net, mocking the central players and beating a Lanni nailed in the goalposts.
Siena has the tank in reserve and the recovery will be entirely for Pescara, who however are lost on many half-occasions on which the Juventus defense is always attentive. The only real thrill in the recovery: the usual Ferrari must be decided on the cross of Cancellotti and Lanni this time is decisive, just enough to save the point.
