A Tale of Two Halves

Rizzo’s attempt for Foggia in the 23rd minute forced a save from Altamura’s goalkeeper, Alastra, marking one of the few clear chances. An injury to Foggia’s Brosco in the 17th minute led to a substitution, bringing on Minelli.
The second half saw Altamura gain more control, culminating in Curcio’s goal in the 72nd minute. The goal, a somewhat fortuitous deflection off Foggia goalkeeper Borbei, proved decisive. Foggia’s struggles were compounded by D’Amico receiving a yellow card, ruling him out of their next match against Potenza.
