Trento’s ascent towards the top of the table continues, defeating Dolomiti Bellunesi with assists and goals from an inspired Nicola Dalmonte. Renate, semi-finalist of the Italian Cup, forcefully passes on the Pro Patria field which is not benefiting from the change on the bench: among the goals also that of the former Kolaj, but for the success of Foschi’s team, Nobile’s saves on the attempts of Schirò and Mastroianni are also crucial. A super first half was enough for AlbinoLeffe to return to victory by beating Alcione to their third defeat in a row. One half in numerical superiority (red for Gallea) is not enough for Virtus Verona to achieve their first home win of the season against Lumezzane.
group B

Partial slowdown for Arezzo, who return only with a draw from Sassari and allow Ravenna to celebrate on the sofa (observing the rest period) the platonic title of winter champion: Torres ahead at the start with the second goal of the season from Starita, then the equalizer in the second half from the substitute Ravasio. Tomorrow Ascoli, which hosts Campobasso, will be able to get closer to the top (minus five in case of success). The match between Carpi and Guidonia, nice surprises in the top playoff zone, is resolved in a back-and-forth at the start: Zuppel puts things back in order for the guests, after the unfortunate own goal by goalkeeper Stellato after 54”. Thanks to Pellegrino’s goal, Pineto secures the halfway point in fourth place and exacerbates Gubbio’s crisis (bench at risk for Mimmo Di Carlo). Vis Pesaro blows at San Benedetto del Tronto: defender Primasso’s double header knocks Samb out and worsens their crisis, amid protests from the hosts (who end with two expulsions) for a possible charge on the goalkeeper on the first goal. In the fair draw in the other derby between Livorno and Pontedera, a brace for the eternal Samuel Di Carmine (37 years old).

With Capomaggio’s brace, Salernitana overcame Foggia (with ten men since before the break due to Olivieri’s red card) returning to winning ways at Arechi after two months. While waiting for Catania-Atalanta U23, Raffaele’s team is still expected to be within three of first place. The key episodes against FVS were all in the first half: in addition to the expulsion, a goal disallowed against Foggia at 0-0 with D’Amico and the decisive one validated despite the protests of the guests who claimed a foul. In the final, Foggia was close to equal denied by Ubani’s double save. The draw between Sorrento and Picerno only makes Serpini’s team happy.
