Modena, Italy
Bari came up victorious in today's league clash between Bari and Modena. Bari started the attack early as Damian Littleton put a 4th minute cross right into the box. Cristoph Klose missed a diving header to put the ball on goal and as a Modena defender headed it away before Brandon Donini had a chance to get it back. Javier Cortez was subbed on for Raheem Sterling at the half and he made an almost immediate impact as he turned a Silvio Ravioli through ball into a 2 on 0 for Bari. Cortez choked at the net though and Modena's keeper swallowed up his attempted pass to Fernando Garcia easily. Bari broke the scilence in the 67th minute when their possesion domination finally payed off. Donini was unable to find an opening as he entered the box so he passed the ball behind him to Klose, Klose faked a run to the right and with a quick pivot took a powerful shot from right outside the box beating Modena's keeper top corner. Cortez blew an opportunity to take a 2-0 lead in the 86th minute when he went down on a breakaway with a pulled muscle. Bari won 1-0.
