Serie C: Benevento beats Catania and goes to +10

Serie B air in Benevento, where the league leaders overturned Catania in the big match and pushed them back to 10 points behind: the guests ahead midway through the first half with Lunetta (Casolasola had previously hit a post), the equalizer came immediately from a free kick from Lamesta but then it was the substitute Mignani – still decisive, like last Sunday – who gave Floro Flores a night of celebration.

Changing of the guard in third place: Cosenza takes it, overpowering Potenza (second knockout in a row at home) in the evening of grace with Emmausso scoring a brace. Antonio Buscè’s team thus overcomes Salernitana, which remedies the first knockout of the Cosmi management in Caserta: Butic’s long-range shot decides in the first half, then Donnarumma denies Llano the second from the spot but the reaction does not lead to an equaliser. A good result in the playoffs was achieved by Crotone, who beat Cavese with a goal in each half from the increasingly top scorer Guido Gomez (16 goals).

Many teams in a few points even close to the playout zone: Latina returns to success after 6 days and takes away peace of mind from Sorrento with the signatures of Lipani and the usual Paris. Giugliano is now three points away from direct salvation, beating Monopoli (Zammarini and Ogunseye) with the same result. Picerno and Atalanta U23 move the table: Manzoni responds to Pugliese’s Lucanian advantage.

At the bottom, Foggia lost in Altamura (goal from Curcio’s ex, following an uncertain exit from Borbei) and thus suffered their eighth defeat in a row: Pazienza was unable to reverse the trend despite trying to introduce something new with the 3-5-2. Syracuse’s point of pride – today referred, will be further penalized – to Casarano: Puzone responds to Cerbone. Speaking of troubles with sports justice: Trapani loses 4-2 in Cerignola (Gambale scored twice) and on Monday 9 March they will experience a crossroads for their destiny in front of the Tfn, where the FIGC Prosecutor’s Office could ask for exclusion from the championship.
