At the 15th minute of the new Reggiana's second training session of the season, silence fell over the thousand fans who had packed the Toano sports field: captain Rozzio kicked the ball out and threw his captain's armband onto the pitch after suffering a hamstring strain. The Granata fans' minds flashed back to last season, when the absence of their defensive stalwart weighed heavily on the team's poor performance during that portion of the season. Initial impressions suggest a slight stiffness and Rozzio's preventive suspension to avoid further injury. However, as usual, they will wait for the necessary time to conduct further investigations, hoping that Rozzio's injury is not serious; otherwise, considering the conditions of Sampirisi and Meroni, they will likely have to consider a transfer solution.

Regarding the match report, the first goal of the day arrived in the 18th minute with a fine assist from Gondo, who provided a ball that Portanova could only tap in at the far post. In the 21st minute, Moh Moh engaged in a duel with Nahounou, who took the one-on-one situation too lightly, eventually bringing down the Masone striker in the penalty area. Moh Moh himself attempted a shot, but Motta denied him the joy of a goal. Later in the first half, Reinhart hit the crossbar, while in the 32nd minute, Gondo earned a deserved second with a fine diagonal shot past Catellani.

The third goal soon arrived in the second half: Tavsan played a good pass to Maggio, who, after a couple of blocked attempts, passed to Cavallini, who was able to get behind and find the right angle. In the 61st minute, Contè hit the crossbar, and in the 66th minute, Basili hit the crossbar, scoring shortly thereafter with a header from a perfect Libutti pass. The scoreboard ended with Masone's defensive blunder in the 70th minute, which Contè pounced on, while Kliajic sealed the 6-0 victory in the 87th minute.
