This was an ill-tempered local derby and tussle in the danger zone, and it showed, as within 10 minutes Giancarlo Gonzalez was sent off for a last-man foul on Mirco Antenucci.

Godfred Donsah was fortunate not to follow after a sliding tackle in muddy conditions, but Grassi got the winning goal after the restart with his low strike from the edge of the box.
