Albinoleffe 2-3 Brescia
Serse Cosmi made his return a year after he was sacked by Udinese, taking over troubled Brescia, and celebrated with a hard-fought win. Del Nero gave Cosmi the best start by opening the scoring at the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia, fighting past a challenge to prod the ball past the goalkeeper. A second was disallowed for Possanzini’s handling offence. Hamsyk volleyed in a clearance to the edge of the area to double the Rondinelle’s advantage, but the referee pointed to the spot for a foul on Cellini and he got back up to bury the penalty for Albinoleffe, his seventh goal of the campaign. It sparked an unlikely fightback and Cellini’s pass found Ruopolo for the equaliser four minutes later. Cosmi’s debut was marked with a victory in stoppages, as Possanzini was at full stretch to volley in from point-blank range.
