It was SPAL who started the brighter of the two sides with Fabio Maistro going close to putting the visitors ahead.

Picking the ball up from the left wing, he drove forward and shot from just outside the box, beating the keeper but not the crossbar.

The home side stated their intent early in the second half, with a speculative shot going through a sea of legs to SPAL goalkeeper, Enrico Alfonso.

SPAL went close again, this time with halftime substitute Alessandro Fiordaliso smashing the ball into the crossbar from 12 yards out after a well worked move that ended in a cut back.

Cosenza finally gave their season some hope in the 65th minute when Marco Brescianini’s curved shot from 20 yards out hit the back of the net, leaving Alfonso with nothing to do other than watch the ball sail past.

The one goal and a defensive goal line clearance late in the game was enough for Cosenza to take all three points
