Reggiana suffered a painful defeat in the derby against Modena, a result that leaves them one step away from relegation to Serie C. The match, played on May 1, 2026, saw the Granata fight but ultimately fail to overcome their historic rivals.

Modena took control of the match from the early stages, building a significant lead that put Pierpaolo Bisoli's side in a difficult position. The pressure from the Canarini materialized into two goals that shaped the outcome of the game.

The decisive goals for Modena were scored by Zampano and Ambrosino, giving the Gialloblù a two-goal advantage. Despite Reggiana's reaction, Vicari's goal was not enough to level the score, sealing the final result at 2-1.

Reggiana's coach, Pierpaolo Bisoli, saw his team battle, but Modena's offensive effectiveness proved superior at key moments. The disappointment of losing the derby is palpable, especially given the implications for the league standings.

With this negative outcome, Reggiana now finds itself in an extremely precarious position. To avoid Serie C and still hope for a play-off spot, the club will have to await and hope for a favorable result on the final day of the championship, a situation that keeps Granata fans on tenterhooks.
