The illusion of a turning point lasted only one half, when Torres closed the match with a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal from Starita. Perugia pressed forward in the second half and even got lucky when they scored the equalizer, with a Brentan own goal securing the score at 1-1.
It's a real shame, because against a direct competitor, sharing the points is of little use, and the Sassari team remains second to last. And they haven't won in 13 games.
Coach Greco, in his third stint at Sassari, relied on veterans and a 3-4-3 formation. In the first half, Torres dominated the game and created three scoring opportunities, following Montevago's early low shot. Goalkeeper Gemello parried headers from Starita (14') and Sala (20') in a move that left some doubtful about the goalkeeper's positioning. Sala's opening goal came in the 41st minute with a powerful shot that Gemello parried, but Starita headed it in from close range. The goal came after over 700 minutes of Rossoblu goallessness.
Perugia pressed forward in the second half and equalized in the 55th minute through Brentan, who was unlucky in trying to get ahead of an opponent, but the move seemed tainted by a push from Montevago on Mercadante. In the 67th minute, Tumbarello threatened but his shot was deflected. In the 90th minute, Masala's header grazed the left post.
