Crotone 2 - 1 Pescara: Gianmarco Ferrari bags late winner for Crotone against fellow strugglers Pescara

Crotone secured only their second win of the season as they beat Pescara 2-1 at home to move above them in the Serie A relegation zone.

The hosts went ahead in the 24th minute when Raffaele Palladino converted a penalty, with Ledian Memushaj then squandering the chance to equalise just before the break as his spot-kick was saved by Alex Cordaz.

Both sides were subsequently reduced to 10 men, Pescara substitute Alberto Aquilani and then Leonardo Capezzi being dismissed in the 73rd and 80th minutes respectively, before Hugo Campanaro drew things level in the 82nd - only for Gianmarco Ferrari to notch what proved the winner for Crotone seconds later.

The result sees the clubs swap place in the table, with Crotone up to 18th and Pescara down to second-bottom.
