In Group A important success for Albinoleffe, in Group B Torres hit in Terni. In Group C Salernitana slows down, Sicilians defeated
Thirteen matches on a Sunday with two league leaders on the pitch. Here’s what happened.
group a

Other big steps towards Serie B: Vicenza overwhelms Pro Patria with a poker (nine defeats in a row) and extends to +17 on second place, awaiting the postponement that will see Brescia on the Giana pitch. Gallo’s battleship, followed by over 750 fans, easily makes up for the absence of the three starters in defence: Cappelletti plays – back in this transfer market from Trento – and also scores goals, as do the attackers Stuckler, Capello and Morra. A domain. Cittadella, meanwhile, is in crisis again: at the Tombolato with AlbinoLeffe comes the third defeat in the last four matches, Giacomo Sali again being decisive (scoring for the fourth match in a row). With merit, Pro Vercelli wins the derby with Novara thanks to Akpa-Akpro assisted by Asane Sow.
group b
—
Juve Next Gen passes in the playoff-style match against Pineto: the Bianconeri are rewarded by Gil Puche’s first goal of the season, following a corner development (then Guerra, from the spot, is denied the second goal by Tonti). Ternana, however, collapses after being eliminated from the cup on penalties: Liverani’s team is beaten at home by Torres, who takes the lead with Diakité’s penalty and doubles the lead despite the red card given to Nunziatini before the break.

Benevento emerges from a very complicated afternoon and thus extends their lead: on the pitch of Atalanta U23 (reinforced by Bakker, recovering from his cruciate injury), the league leaders go 3-1 down – a brace from Levak – but then overturns everything in a devastating second half in exploiting dead balls (another brace, including the decisive goal, from Pierozzi). Salernitana clearly loses contact from the top, now at minus 8, who are joined at Arechi by Giugliano who are last in the standings (good debut on the bench for Lello Di Napoli, D’Agostino with a right-foot shot replying to Ferraris). Fourth place is taken by Cosenza, who give Casertana (who provisionally took the lead with Liotti’s penalty) their third defeat in a row and overtake them in the standings, achieving their first success of 2026. Monopoli’s rise continues, beating Latina – fresh finalists of the Italian Cup and with ten men from the start, with Marenco sent off – thanks to a goal that comes from the transfer market: in fact, just 36” are enough for Vinciguerra, a striker loaned by Cagliari, to leave their mark by taking over at the start of the second half. By the way: the other cup finalist, Potenza, also loses, knocked out in the first quarter of an hour by Picerno who relaunches his bid for salvation (three goals in the last two games for Sebastiano Bianchi). Third success in a row for Crotone, who overturns Siracusa (fourth consecutive knockout) already in the first half. At Altamura – third away win in a row – Curcio’s goal was enough to advance to the field of a Trapani downsized and revolutionized by the market: protests from the Aronica team for the canceled draw in Kirwan, who should go to Potenza tomorrow. In the Zaccheria derby, a great success from Cerignola, driven by a brace from former player Gaetano Vitale.
