Defences prevail in Reggio Emilia

Updated: Nov 9

Game 6, Coppa Coni

Sunday, June 24, 1928


Stadio Mirabello, Reggio Emilia

Reggiana Lazio 1-1


The strong defences of both teams meant that a draw was the logical consequence.


In Coppa Coni so far Lazio were second in the company of Livorno and two points behind Modena. The top team went to the final.

 

The match

 

Both teams had very good defences but not as good attacks. The low scoring  draw was hence consequential.

 

Reggiana opened the score in the 25th minute. Leandro Codeluppi stole a ball off a Lazio defender and with a powerful low shot beat Bruno Nicolini. It did not take long for the Biancocelesti to equalise. Five minutes later Camillio Fenili crossed into the box and Carlo Cevenini V with a magnificent volley made it 1-1.

 

Both teams had chances to score from then on in an exciting match, but the strong defences prevailed and the game ended 1-1.

 

In the other games Modena beat Padova 2-1 and Pro Vercelli thrashed Livorno 4-1.

 

The table now read Modena 10 points, Livorno 8, Lazio 7, Pro Vercelli 6, Reggiana 3 and Padova 2
