At the Franchi stadium, Imolese are defeated by Siena 1-0. In the 2nd minute, an interesting cross from Siena’s attacking left lane. Bravo Rossi coming out to block the ball. The Imolese player slowly takes up some of the forward pitch, but the game is played above all with duels in midfield. At 17′ Paloschi’s cross, Eguelfi arrives well. In the 19th minute the first corner for the Imolese, a header with Belloni deflecting. Then Camilleri tries to kick on goal. Siena sees Mamona again, the ball ends up near the post. In the 24th minute Paloschi scored: a cross from Belloni, rebounded on Disanto’s feet who passed through Paloschi who moved on the edge of offside. Mister Anastasi is then expelled. In the 30th minute Paloschi plays and invents a cross for Castorani’s insertion: Cerretti’s intervention is fundamental. Again Paloschi dangerous header on Favalli’s cross from the left. Ball on the bottom. In the 49th minute Rossi made a save from a Paloschi header. In the 51st minute a counterattack by Raimo who flies away centrally and tries to shoot: the ball deflected for a corner. In the 55th minute, Favalli finishes from inside the penalty area, Mamona sacrifices himself and deflects for a corner. In the 61st minute Siena is still one step away from scoring. Cross designed by Disanto and in the area Favalli stands out and heads the bottom corner. We then see Simeri, the first real opportunity for the Neapolitan striker, who escapes the marking of Riccardi and Silvestri but nothing happens. In the 70th minute Simeri tries to strike with his right foot from a tight angle. Ball on the bottom. Another guest occasion when with a late exit from Lanni on a high ball, confusion is created in the area with Simeri who is unable to shoot on goal from close range.
