Ligorna 2-2 Sanremese: Second-Half Fightback Earns a Point in Serie D

Ligorna and Sanremese opened their Serie D accounts with a lively 2-2 draw under the floodlights on Sunday, 6 September 2026. The late-evening kickoff produced an open contest between two sides eager to make an early impression, with the home team twice taking the lead and Sanremese twice answering back in a match that felt far closer than the scoreline suggests.

Ligorna started brightly and used their wingers to stretch the Sanremese defence in the opening period. Their reward came midway through the first half, when a well-worked move ended with a composed finish from close range. Rather than settling into safety, however, Ligorna invited pressure, and Sanremese gradually found their rhythm. The visitors equalised before the interval with their most incisive attacking move, cutting through the home defence through the middle and finishing calmly to make it 1-1.

Second half brings another twist

The second half followed a similar pattern. Ligorna reasserted themselves after the restart and appeared to have done enough to collect all three points when they restored their lead with a clever set-piece routine. Sanremese, though, showed resilience and continued to push forward in search of another equaliser. Their persistence paid off as the game approached its final stages, with a scrappy but decisive goal securing a hard-earned point on the road.

Both teams will take positives from their opening performance. Ligorna can point to their aggression in attack and their ability to create chances, while Sanremese will value the character they showed in responding twice in difficult away conditions.

• Key outcome: 2-2 draw in Serie D
• Home scorers: Ligorna scored twice, including a goal after half-time
• Away scorers: Sanremese equalised either side of the interval

With the Serie D season still in its early weeks, this result gives both clubs a useful starting point. Ligorna will want to turn such promising home performances into wins, while Sanremese have shown they can travel and compete. The two sides will now shift their attention to the next round, where consistency will matter more than ever in a crowded league picture.
