Pedro Mendes Scores at 95 Minutes to Rescue Modena in 2–2 Draw at Catanzaro

The result keeps Catanzaro fifth and Modena sixth in the Serie B playoff race.

Overview

  • Modena, which visited Catanzaro on Tuesday, earned a 2-2 draw thanks to Pedro Mendes’s close-range header in the 95th minute.
  • Catanzaro led twice after Pittarello’s 5th-minute header was upheld by VAR and Rispoli struck in the 40th, with Adorni making it 1-1 in the 28th.
  • Captain Pietro Iemmello left injured early in the second half, his replacement Federico Di Francesco hit the crossbar, and thick fog reduced visibility and slowed play.
  • The draw leaves Catanzaro on 55 points in fifth and Modena three back in sixth, and it extends Catanzaro’s recent pattern of conceding in stoppage time.
  • This was a rescheduled Round 31 match moved from March 17 due to a weather alert, and Modena added late attackers Pyyhtia and Zanimacchia before the stoppage-time equaliser.
