Emotions, goals and surprises in the Saturday matches of the 17th matchday of Serie B. Here are all the results and main insights from the camps. The Pisa confirms itself as a solid and concrete team, overcoming the Bari with a clear 2-0. After a balanced first half, in the second half the Nerazzurri broke the deadlock in the 49th minute with Moreo. In the 68th minute, Piccinini closed the game with a precise shot that left the opposing goalkeeper no chance. Cesena wins an important victory against Cosenza. The Romagna team took the lead at the end of the first half with Tavsan, doubled their lead in the 57th minute thanks to Berti, and resisted the Calabrian comeback attempt made by Ricciardi in the 70th minute.
Home defeat for the Frosinone against the Sassuolo. The Ciociari found the advantage with Oyono in the 24th minute, but the Emilians turned the situation around thanks to goals from Mulattieri in the 37th minute and Moro in the 74th minute. The Emilian derby smiles at Modena, who conquers the Reggiana field with a goal from Defrel in the 20th minute. An intense match, decided by the coolness of the yellow-blue attacker. Spectacular challenge in Bolzano, where Sudtirol and Mantua share the stakes. Merkaj opened the scoring for the hosts in the 4th minute, but Galuppini responded in the 41st minute. Rover puts Sudtirol ahead in the 64th minute, but in the 90th minute +1 Aramu scores the final equalizer. Few emotions at Marassi, where Sampdoria and Spezia ended the match goalless. Both teams take home a point which is more useful for the standings than for morale.
