It was the away side who had slightly more of the ball and created more chances (13 to Brescia’s nine), so the team would be disappointed not to have gotten on the scoreboard.
The only goal of the game came in the fifth minute as Jallow was allowed to run unmarked into the box during a corner.
He met the ball on the full and side-footed it into the top left corner, while a stunned Iannarilli was left standing still, helpless.
The game was end-to-end, with both sides creating chances but lacking in finishing quality.
Most shots on goal were either off-target or without power, with Ternana twice heading the ball softly into the path of Brescia’s keeper.
In the second half it was more of the same until Ternana substitute Gabriele Cappani managed to finally threaten the Brescia goal.
The ball came to him from a corner, where he hit it hard and low, aiming for the near post.
Andrenacci dropped quickly and got a hand to the shot, pulling off a wonderful save and keeping Brescia ahead.
Brescia went agonisingly close to doubling their lead when Florian Aye’s shot beat the keeper but was cleared off the line by a desperate Mantovani.
The home side are now on 31 points, just three off the relegation playoff spot currently held by Perugia.
