Wow guys, I don't know whether to cry  or not for Reggina!!!!!  

Reggina needed to win this match at all costs to have SOME hope for salvation. Yet, Reggina not only lost the match, but everything went wrong!   2 red cards and Franco Brienza failing to convert the penalty that could have open the score for Reggina. 

I was not impressed by Udinese who really suffered during the first half. Well, Udinese return from Germany after losing the UEFA Cup Quarterfinals first leg against Werder Bremen and you could tell some of the players were tired or just thinking of the second leg to beat Bremen at the Friuli Stadium.  Anyway, Udinese also failed to convert a penalty with Domizzi. Though, in the last minutes they found an inspired ANTONIO FLORO FLORES scoring a brace.

Here is the official starting eleven formation for REGGINA by coach Nevio Orlandi:

REGGINA: Puggioni, Lanzaro, Valdez, Santos, Sestu, Barreto, Hallfredsson, Antonino Barillà, Costa, Franco Brienza, Ceravolo

Here is the official starting eleven formation for UDINESE by Coach Pasquale Marino:

UDINESE: Samir Handanovic, Domizzi, Felipe, Zimling, Mauricio Isla Obodo, Asamoha, Lukovic, Ighalo, Sanchez, Antonio Floro Flores.

Gosh,,, can someone prepare a "Chamomile tea" for Reggina defender Maurizio Lanzaro?  Guys, I could not believe how in the world Lanzaro kept protesting for a clear foul in the penalty area on Udinese forward Antonio Floro Flores in the 54th minute.  Hello, it was so clear and the replay is clear.  What got me mad was the way he kept protesting against the referee who already gave him a yellow card.  Here is the thing.... Lanzaro got a second yellow card right there for his protest !!!! Hello, the guy was out of control and what he got?  A RED CARD and damaging his team by remaining in 10! 

Guys, even after he got the RED CARD he kept protesting wildly on his way out!!!!  Oh wellllll.... get him some CHAMOMILE plezzzzzz



Taking the penalty was Maurizio Domizzi, though, I was hoping for Floro Flores to take the spot.  Hum?  Well, among the protests from Reggina fans for the sendig off of Lanzaro, Domizzi takes the penalty spot.  You won't believe it guys... what?  Hold on!  Let me tell you... Domizzi get set and the commentator in RAI ITALIA praising him before shooting saying that he was the specialist  in penalties even when he was in Napoli.  Surprise, surprise....  Domizzi got set and the green light went on and BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OVER THE BAR!!!!!!  Mamma miaaaaa!  Ooopssss  !!!!  Domizzi failing to covert the penalty!!!!  U N B E L I E V A B L E

That's not all guys.. there is more... what?  hum?  Yep!  In the 79th minute, Reggina Franco Brienza simulate a penalty and hey, hey, hey,  Referee De Marco  not buying it.   BAMMMM here is the yellow card for simulation!!!!!  Wow, all protests from Reggina fans.. but, come on, guys, for me it was a dive.

Though,  wait... here comes the climax of the match!  In the 81st minute, Referee De Marco concedes a real penalty to Reggina.  A foul by Udinese midfielder Aleksander Lukovic on Reggina Luca Vigiani. Oh gosh, the chaotic moment when Franco Brienza takes the penalty spot and you expect he is going to score and the sun will shine at the Oreste Granillo.  I don't even want to be on Brienza's shoes because he failed to convert the penalty after Udinese goalkeeper Samir Handanovic turns in Superman saving the penalty!!!!
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Anyway, guys, it was "A GIORNATA NO, a NO DAY" for Brienza.  Making matters worst for Brienza, he is substtituted in the 90th minute by Stuani and leave the field among loud whistles!!!!!!!!! 

The hero of the match is Udinese forward Antonio Floro Flores!!!!!  In the 85th minute delivering the opening goal for Udinese while sinking Reggina..  An assist by Giovanni Pasquale and Floro Flores with a left footed shot blasting Reggina goalkeeper in the bottom left corner BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Reggina 0 - 1 Udinese

Just five minutes later, it is total party time for UDINESE getting the boost to their morale to play the UEFA Cup Quarterfinals Second Leg against Werder Bremen at the Friuli.  In the 90th minute, an assist by Odion Ighalo to the hero Antonio Floro Flores!!!!!   Guys, Floro Flores with a divine inspiration make a left footed shot blasting Reggina goalkeeper in the bottom left corner!!!!!!  wow wow, wow...
Reggina 0 - 2 Udinese

I wonder is someone is helping Reggina pack for their relegation to the Serie B.  At this point, it is doubtful they can save themselves being in the last position with only 20 points!!!!!
