Bari 1-1 Arezzo
New Bari boss Giuseppe Materazzi had the worst possible start to his spell on the bench, returning to this club after a decade. Arezzo hitman Floro Flores opened the scoring after only two minutes with a clinical left-foot shot in the bottom right hand corner of Gillet’s goal. Then the visitors tried to protect their lead by focusing on their defence, while Bari were looking for a way to break through. At the 41st minute Tabbiani’s right-foot volley went past a stunned goalkeeper Bremec and straight into the net for the long-awaited equaliser. One minute later Gervasoni saw red for using his elbow and he was followed by Materazzi for protesting the decision. Despite this situation, the Southerners held on for a point.
