“Francesco Zampano broke the deadlock to put Modena ahead, giving the hosts the perfect platform in what was already a feisty opening quarter.”
Pivotal“Giuseppe Ambrosino doubled Modena's lead to make it 2-0, seemingly putting the match beyond Reggiana's reach — only to be booked within seconds and then sent off thirteen minutes later.”
Pivotal“Francesco Vicari pulled one back for Reggiana to make it 2-1, setting up a tense final quarter with Modena still at full strength at that point.”

Modena controlled the early exchanges and took the lead through Francesco Zampano's 13th-minute strike, a goal that came with an immediate footnote as the scorer was booked just a minute later. The Gialloblù doubled their advantage through Giuseppe Ambrosino shortly after the break, but the striker's evening unravelled spectacularly — he collected a yellow within a minute of scoring, then was dismissed on 69 minutes for a second bookable offence, leaving Modena to defend with ten men. Francesco Vicari had already pulled one back for Reggiana on 65 minutes, and the statistics tell the story of a second half where the visitors dominated — 16 shots to Modena's 9, 43 dangerous attacks to 27, and three big chances created compared to none for the hosts — yet poor finishing from Reggiana, who squandered two of those big chances, ultimately cost them an equaliser. The result is significant in a promotion and relegation context, with Modena picking up three precious points that could prove vital in the final weeks of the Serie B season, while Reggiana leave frustrated, knowing they had more than enough possession of the ball to have taken something from this fixture.
