The battle for salvation. There are 10 points difference and the final sprint to remain in Serie A next season is just running out of time. Cesena failing to win this home game and remain in the relegation zone while Chievo with this victory avoid falling into relegation zone.
A ray of hope for Chievo in the 83rd minute silencing the Dinno Manuzzi Stadium. It is precisely forward Sergio Pellissier to open the score with a headed shot defeating Cesena goalkeeper Nicola Leali in the top left corner. The assist is by defender Nicolas Frey. Mamma mia, what a way to celebrate his birthday too with this winner goal. Happy 36th Birthday Pellissier!
