Spezia continued to pile on the pressure in the second and were rewarded, with Daniele Verde finding the net, on 63 minutes. However, each side looked hungry to win and Crotone then found the back of the net, 78 minutes in thanks to Simeon Nwankwo, taking the score to 2-1. However, their lead didn't last for long, Giulio Maggiore producing an equaliser in the 90th minute, bringing Spezia level. They then scored again, increasing their advantage thanks to a goal from Martin Erlic just before the final whistle to make it 3-2.
