After the 1-0 in the first leg of the playouts, the Rossoneri fall 2-0. Celebrate Triestina and Pro Vercelli who remain in Serie C

May 17, 2025 (modification at 10:58 pm) – Ferrara

When, at 9.58 pm, the doors of hell open, there is a certain logic: the poor devil is to cross them who, after winning the first leg with the Spal one to zero, falls to Ferrara taking two and sinking in Serie D. A Milan among the amateurs: it has a certain effect. The future Milan, followed in Emilia only by the DS Kirovski (Ibra witnessed the spring match, which earned the playoffs), must reset and start where she would never have imagined to finish. A shock across the board. The project must necessarily be revisited in depth but continues, and something good in terms of players entrusted to the first team has been seen, even if it remains a sporty bankruptcy year. In Ferrara, on the other hand, it is a party. Not exaggerated because for a team that started with the playoff goal, finding yourself in the playouts was a great disappointment. But celebrating is lawful, after the escaped danger.

interpretation

Oddo sided Milan himself from the first leg, while Baldini changed three, but the attitude was essentially different. Spal was a ferocious approach exactly as the type of game required, that is, the opposite of what had happened in the first leg, when the overall interpretation of the Emilians had been desolant. In practice, inverted parts compared to the previous week: biancazzurri masters of the field, Rossoneri in chaos and uncertain in the defensive phase. For a simple reason: it was all about intensity, thanks to which the hosts almost always arrived before Milan, second balls included. The push of the Mazza – over 10,500 spectators – was obviously a substantial factor, even if more than someone feared that he could paradoxically prove to be a double -edged sword, ending up generating excessive pressure. To say, at the entrance to the field for heating, the first choir of the West Curva was “pulled out IC …”. Not very easy environment, even if then the incitement was constant and precious. Let’s say that Spal played the game as its people would have liked to see throughout the season, and Milan flopped the decisive ninety minutes after a first round that had seen it clearly higher. An illusory game, in the hindsight of then. And yet another certification that at these levels the technique obviously helps, but it is not enough without personality, malice and a good dose of roughness.

difficulty

Spal rough has been a lot, the game has always remained on quite bright tones -in the first half expelled from the bench the white -blue dt box -, even if it has never resulted in the real badness. And Milan never really managed to react to the irrigation of the hosts. So much so that the best opportunities came with shots from the distance -sandri, twice Alesi, both in the second half -, who also put in difficulty galleys, but at the same time they highlighted the difficulty of getting close to him (the only one who succeeded was trar, with a right -handed right problematically in the corner). A huge effort in the construction phase. Spal went twice in the first half with merit, giving meaning to a pleasantly enveloping and great pressure maneuver. The first goal was born from a ball and uprooted by Nador and dry restart on the left side: low cross by Parisians for Awua and conclusion diverted by Molina just enough to put Nava out. It was the 22 ‘and that point the Decibels of the Mazza further got up, until the wonderful doubling of Molina (37’), who turned with a magic in a handkerchief and designed a rainbow in the seven further. All standing. AC Milan accused the blow, staggering like a stunned boxing and that point, with two goals to recover, made a very hard. In the second half the devil tried with a little more conviction, but without being able to move the inertia of the game much. No flicker, no play capable of putting the result back in the balance. Low heads and tears on the one hand, hugs on the other and ovation for Mirco Antenucci, who entered the second half and gave farewell to football in the game of great smiles and the escaped danger.

Serie C playout, the other results

The Triestina remains in C, who at the Nereo Rocco replies the 0-0 of the first leg against the Caldiero (in D after one season): the guests in the final also have the occasion of the bang, but in the documents remains the excellent work of Tesser who-without penalties-would have saved a team taken at the end of the regular season when he had just six points after 16 days. In Group A, the Pro Vercelli is also celebrating fresh change of ownership: it is the Vercellese Alessandro Romairone who signed the goal enough to beat (1-0) for the end of the first half, which succumbs-despite the measurement success in the first leg-for the worst placement in the championship. Despite all the clouds on the future-on Wednesday there is the pre-bankruptcy hearing-the Lucchese surpasses Sestri Levante (1-0, Badje) and recites the Ligurians between the amateurs after two seasons. In the challenge between two other clubs in profound corporate crisis, salvation takes Foggia by sending it into D Messina (1-0, after the 0-0 of the first leg): at the Zaccheria, the former Emmausso unlocks it in the first half, then to arm the result, Perina thinks about a penalty to Luciani.
