Benassai beats Virtus Verona in the 84th minute: red and white with their seventh consecutive victory and +7. Rimini (now at -1) beats the Umbrians who lose their sixth in a row: it’s a dispute. Crotone hit in Foggia

October 11 – 9.46pm – MILAN

Here are the main ideas from a Saturday with 10 advances, from all three groups. Seventh success in a row for Vicenza, who suffer at the Menti but beat Virtus Verona (on whose pitch they lost the championship last spring): Benassai’s strike from Costa’s free-kick was decisive. While waiting for Lecco’s match on the AlbinoLeffe pitch tomorrow, Gallo’s team provisionally has a 7-point lead at the top of group A. In group B, another collapse for Perugia who is in free fall: against Rimini comes their sixth consecutive defeat – fourth since Braglia arrived, in the Curi dispute. Ternana equalized in Forlì, while Pineto – after four rounds – returned to success by defeating Livorno.

Catania did well

In group C, a trio of external successes. Catania knocks out Giugliano (Cudini takes a risk) and climbs into second place for a night, thus getting closer in the best possible way to the next two days when Salernitana and Benevento arrive at Massimino. Spectacular overhead kick by Berra, among the goals of the ex from Zunno and Murano, in Crotone’s attack in Foggia. Casertana also smiles, with Bentivegna’s brace (first goal after 17”) punishing an absent-minded Picerno: the Lucanians’ general manager Greco spoke of an “unspeakable performance”, with De Luca’s bench obviously ending up under observation.
