Serie C, Inter U23 and Atalanta U23 fall. The flight of the Casertana continues

Two recoveries, to close the program of matches not played due to the commitments of the players called up to the national teams. Here’s what happened (today, meanwhile, Pontedera – just sold to the Brazilian fund Sportheca – chose Banchieri to replace the sacked Menichini).

In group A, Inter U23 fell, beaten on the Dolomiti Bellunesi pitch (the Tognon of Fontanafredda) thanks to a goal in the quarter of an hour by the Australian Agosti (great left-footed shot from the edge of the area, resulting from an action by Saccani on the right). For Vecchi it is the first away defeat, which came after six wins and a draw on a Wednesday in which he was unable to count on Cocchi, Spinaccè, Maye and Bovo called up by Chivu for Inter-Venice (“But for us it is a satisfaction to see them in the first team, I have a group of 25-30 boys who I think are all ready”, commented the coach). Inter remains in sixth place in the standings while Dolomiti moves out of the playout zone.

Casertana-Atalanta U23 1-0

Casarotto at 35′ pt In group C, Casertana continues to run and narrowly beats Atalanta U23 (1-0) – it’s the third victory in a row – and closes to within three of third place. An important success for Coppitelli’s team, which also arrived thanks to the ability to grit their teeth to defend the precious advantage. Casertana broke the deadlock in the 35th minute with Casarotto, his second goal in the championship, fed by Toscano. A result that the Bergamo players try to rebel against with attempts from Obric and Misitano, but on the other hand it is Vismara who keeps Atalanta U23 afloat by denying Casarotto a brace. In the final, despite the numerical inferiority for the red to Obric (a clear scoring opportunity was interrupted), the guests had the opportunity to equalize with Cissè but Kontek’s save was decisive.
