Salernitana Reverses Course, Secures Victory After Opponent Injury

Salernitana has climbed to third place in the Serie C standings after a hard-fought victory against Altamura. The team overcame an early setback and benefited from a significant injury to an opposing player to secure the win.

Early Challenge and Turning Point

Altamura took an early lead with a goal described as a rocambolesco tocco di Grande deviato da Lescano – a deflected touch from Grande, redirected by Lescano. Still, the match took a dramatic turn when Curcio suffered a serious injury, requiring 10 stitches to the head.

Salernitana Capitalizes on Superiority

With the advantage of a player up, Salernitana responded effectively. They equalized with a penalty converted by Lescano and then took the lead with a goal from Anastasio. The Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Complice la superiorità numerica (fallo involontario di Curcio su Golemic: 10 punti di sutura al capo), la Salernitana ha ribaltato il punteggio con un rigore di Lescano e un tiro-cross di Anastasio nella ripresa. (Thanks to the numerical superiority (involuntary foul by Curcio on Golemic: 10 stitches to the head), Salernitana overturned the score with a penalty from Lescano and a cross-shot from Anastasio in the second half.)
