Arezzo
Palermo
Palermo looked in complete control after goals from Dennis Johnsen and Filippo Ranocchia put them 2-0 up by the 55th minute, with their superior possession (57%) and passing (461 to 333) suggesting a comfortable away day. But Arezzo's response was immediate and relentless: Pietro Cianci pulled one back within five minutes of the second goal, and Camillo Tavernelli leveled things at 2-2 by the 74th minute in a spell where the hosts created real momentum despite trailing in most underlying stats. Just when a share of the points looked the fair outcome, Tommaso Augello struck in the 90th minute to snatch it for Palermo, who edged the shot count 17-15 and made their extra creativity in the final third count. For Arezzo, sat mid-table and needing points, this will sting badly given how hard they fought back; for Palermo, it's a statement result on the road that keeps their season firmly on track.
