At the “Arechi” stadium, Salernitana qualified for the round of 32 of the Coppa Italia by beating Spezia 5-4 on penalties after a 3-3 draw at full time.

Sierra Leone-born Yayah Kallon helped U.S. Salernitana 1919 progress to round 32 of the Coppa Italia – his 53rd-minute goal revived their comeback.

In the 43rd minute, Spezia scored the first goal. After that, they scored a second goal and were ahead 2-0 at halftime. Salernitana scored a goal early in the second half through Yayah Kallon, making it 2-1.

Spezia then scored another goal, making it 3-1. The home team scored twice, equalizing the game at 3-3. The match went to a penalty shootout, which Salernitana won 5-4.

Kallon, 23, sealed a season-long loan transfer from Hellas Verona to the Serie B outfit Salernitana last month.

During his loan spell at Bari last season, Kallon made 14 appearances and scored two goals. He is hopeful he will continue performing well on the field.
