Triestina collapses again, with their fourth consecutive defeat (third with Bordin on the bench): the celebration (3-0) belongs to Lumezzane, who climbs into the heart of the playoff zone with goals from Capelli in the first half and from defenders Dalmazzi and Pisano in the second half, both on the development of dead balls. Triestina now shares 46 points with Vicenza, of which they will be guests in the next round in a direct clash for third place. Atalanta U23 is also in the running for the podium, beating Alessandria 2-0 – with ten men from the first half – with Panada on a free kick and Capone: the Nerazzurri have 44 points, but a game to recover. Pergolettese hit Trento (3-1), revitalized by the return of Giovanni Mussa to the bench: Guiu, Bariti and Mazzarani followed suit, Anastasia shortened too late.

While waiting for the postponement of Sestri Levante-Cesena, the crisis is behind us for Torres who achieves the second victory in a few days and solidifies second place: at the Vanni Sanna, Perugia narrowly beaten (1-0) thanks to the penalty (foul by Kouan on Ruocco) transformed with a quarter of an hour to go by Diakité, who entered the lineup only after the warm-up to replace the injured Fischnaller. Against Perugia, Carrarese still gained a point with the 2-2 draw in Ancona: the Tuscans were ahead twice with Finotto and then with Schiavi, but were always joined by the former Energe and by Coli Saco in full recovery (for Calabro, in any case, 14 points in six games). However, Pescara collapses in Pesaro, without Zeman on the bench (in the clinic for a scheduled hospitalization, replaced by deputy Bucaro): Vis triumphs with a clear 4-0, a brace from the usual Karlsson, the former Pucciarelli and Da Pozzo also score . There is the signature of Morra, with his second consecutive brace, in Rimini’s 3-1 win over Pontedera: ahead with Ianesi, the Tuscans are overturned by the former Piacenza striker and Lamesta. Arezzo regains victory, beating Recanatese 2-0, making Giacomo Filippi’s debut on the Marche bench bitter: Gucci’s double header, following a double assist from Gaddini, is decisive. In a draw between Juventus Next Gen and Lucchese (1-1), the Tuscans lead with Cangianiello and Anghelé responds, extending the positive streak of the Bianconeri who have won four in a row. After the change on the bench, Pineto also changed gear again in the playoff zone: the home success against Olbia (1-0, own goal by Bianchimano) got the Sardinians into trouble, still second to last. Fermana, last in the class, and Spal (1-1) move the table, but the Ferraresi are more pleased with the point (7 in three games since Di Carlo returned): down in the first half due to Carraro’s unfortunate own goal (hit from teammate Valentini), Spal restores the balance with a shot from Dalmonte that hits Furlanetto.

It is Catania’s great night, which – in front of 15 thousand spectators at Massimino – rises from the latest negative results and knocks out leaders Juve Stabia (2-0) with a brace from Castellini: in a team upset by the market, the defender from Brescia is one of the few veterans of Serie D. The advantage over second place of a declining Juve Stabia, in any case, remains unchanged. In fact, Picerno was overturned at home by Benevento (2-1), now third alone at minus 7 from the top: the Lucanians took the lead with Ceccarelli in the first half, in the final quarter of an hour Ciciretti equalized from the spot (foul by Biasiol on Pinato) and 18-year-old Carfora scored the decisive goal, scoring his first goal among professionals after his debut in Serie B last season. Spectacular equalizer in Crotone-Taranto (2-2): braces for Gomez and Kanoute, the equalizer for Crotone comes from a penalty initially saved by Vannucchi but repeated (and scored) due to an infringement by a defender (the position to be evaluated of Vannucchi himself on the line and that of a defender who may have entered the area before the serve). Narrow success (1-0) for Giugliano against Messina with a goal from Salvemini at the end, Latina advances with the same result to Monopoli thanks to D’Orazio. A feat for Monterosi, who won in Cerignola (2-1) and left last place: one-two from Piroli and Eusepi in the first quarter of an hour, then Lazio resisted despite the red card given to Piroli himself and only conceded the goal from Capomaggio , with goalkeeper Forte saving the result.
