Ready, go and Bertinato must avoid an own goal on an unsafe deviation from Altare. It will remain the only danger prevented by the Venezia goalkeeper in the first half. Busio tries from outside just before the break, but is not precise. Diakité has the best chance of the first half with his header, but his header misses the target. Lucarelli’s team manages the game and in the 56th minute Favilli sends Bertinato flying with his right foot, a shot saved. In the 74th minute Tessmann finds Johnsen, the Norwegian serves Busio who flattens it into the corner. Ternana’s reaction does not arrive, Lucarelli is in the balance.

Bari-Ascoli 1-0

San Nicola’s match doesn’t break the deadlock in the first 45 minutes. At the start of the match, Quaranta risks an own goal and Barosi – making his debut as a starter in Serie B – has to fly to avoid the defender’s mistake. Halfway through the first half, Brenno had to save an excellent header from Di Tacchio. The two teams continue to attack, Sibilli and Nestorovski try. Just before the break, Falzerano comes close to hitting the post. At the beginning of the second half, Bari’s defense is not very attentive but Rodriguez misses the shot. Viali also loses captain Bellusci due to injury, Adjapong comes in in his place. Acampora and Nasti have two excellent chances from outside, but nothing happens. But in the 80th minute Sibilli starts alone, at the edge of the area he dribbles past two defenders and places it in the corner with his right foot. Marino’s team wins, temporarily landing in the playoff zone.

The first flash of the match came from Vandeputte in the 19th minute, Stoppa did well to run down the right wing, then the perfect shot from the Belgian winger. Less than ten minutes and the guests equalize with Manconi: the attacker starts on the counterattack, no one stops him, and with a very precise left foot he finds the goal to make it 1-1. Vivarini’s men didn’t give up, at the start of the second half, Donnarumma on the counterattack was saved by Seculin. Then the pace slows down.

Cittadella-Brescia 3-2
—
We immediately start very strong, because in the 4th minute Frare is in the path of the former Moncini’s shot: the deflection surprises Kastrati. The striker born in 1996 is still dangerous, but the home team’s goalkeeper does well to avoid doubling the lead. From an excellent save to a bad mistake: Lezzerini was surprised by Carriero at his post in the 13th minute: it was 1-1. There is also time for the second goal scored by captain Vita: a very strong shot from the edge of the area, this is unstoppable. Second goal of the championship for the midfielder. Also in the second half, Carriero tries to surprise Lezzerini, this time the goalkeeper deflects with his foot. In the 69th minute Kastrati makes a mistake: Bertagnoli shoots, Frare’s slight deflection surprises the goalkeeper. Cittadella gets back into the game in the 82nd minute with Maistrello who makes good use of Pandolfi’s assist. Third consecutive defeat for Gastaldello’s men, who was sent off in the 75th minute for protests.
Cosenza-Feralpisalò 1-1
—
Few opportunities in the first part of the match, Venturi headed Calò’s free kick to break the deadlock. Zaffaroni’s team struggled to react, Florenzi challenged Pizzignacco, as did Forte. But the result doesn’t change until half-time. The guests do not get close to the opponent’s penalty area. At the first real opportunity, however, Feralpisalò finds the equalizer: the Cosenza defense rejects, there is a melee, in the end the former Butic heads it in. Zaffaroni’s men change face and in the 79th minute Hergheligiu hits the crossbar. We don’t go beyond 1-1.
Pisa-Como 1-1
—
Aquilani’s team plays better, but in the final meters they are not very precise. Semper responds to Tramoni, then in the 12th minute Cutrone with a half overhead kick punctures Nicolas’ hands after Verdi’s excellent cross. Valoti is the most dangerous of him: he moves well in front of him, in the 39th minute he shoots high. As soon as the second half begins, the attacking midfielder receives from Mlakar and beats the opposing goalkeeper. The guests react, Nicolas is forced into overtime to deflect a shot from Cutrone. In the 69th minute the hosts took courage, Valoti sent the ball just wide again. On the other side of the pitch, the usual Cutrone controls perfectly in the area, tries the lob to beat the goalkeeper who hits the crossbar. The woodwork saves Pisa, because Chajia also hits the post. Despite the many chances, the match ends in a draw.
