Hellas Verona paid the price for wasting numerous chances and hitting the woodwork twice, as Riccardo Saponara came off the bench to clinch a Spezia equaliser.
Kevin Lasagna was unfortunate enough to see two goals disallowed for offside positions, while Eddie Salcedo forced a desperate save from point-blank range and turned his header onto the upright.

Kevin Lasagna was unfortunate enough to see two goals disallowed for offside positions, while Eddie Salcedo forced a desperate save from point-blank range and turned his header onto the upright.
Salcedo did finally give Hellas the lead within 33 seconds of the restart by leaping above the crowd to meet the Darko Lazovic cross.
Federico Dimarco’s free kick was also deflected onto the crossbar, but Spezia held on and snatched the equaliser with substitute Saponara nutmegging Marco Silvestri.
