Table center games usually do not attract much interest, because teams usually have nothing to lose or gain. But Sesotho and Verona managed to issue a great and dramatic football tonight (Saturday) in the 27th round of the Italian league.
Sesotho – Verona 2: 3
Within four minutes we got a hint to expect later in the game. Manuel Lukatli put the hosts ahead early in the final minutes of the first half, so Serbian Derek Lazovic equalized for Verona (43). The Greens went up at the peak of motivation for the second half, and like the first, opened it up wonderfully, with Philip Juricic scoring on the rebound six minutes from the start.
Sesuolo was sure she was on the way to victory, but in the 79th minute Federico DiMarco equalized to the guest’s right and put the locals under pressure. But the tension was not maintained for a long time, two minutes after Verona’s equalizer, Hemed Traora also scored from a rebound and set up a dramatic 2: 3 that was maintained until the end. And if that wasn’t enough, Verona’s coach Ivan Juric raged in the closing minutes and the referee decided to send him to the locker room in the 89th minute.
