Serie C: Citro-goal: Bari escapes. Catanzaro, what a stop

In Group C, in view of the direct confrontation, the leaders beat Francavilla and goes to +7 against the Calabrians, beaten in Monopoli. Ok Avellino and Palermo. For Catania the last victory before retiring from the championship?

Saturday dedicated to group C, which also this weekend has to deal with the snow: Picerno-Campobasso has been postponed to a later date. The round will be completed with the Sunday postponement Turris-Fidelis Andria at 17.30. Here is everything that happened in the afternoon.

The games

The complicated derby with Francavilla, in full recovery, smiles at Bari (2-1): red and white ahead with Cheddira, equal on a free kick from Maiorino, but in the end the party at San Nicola is unleashed – under the eyes of Aurelio De Laurentiis – thanks to the flicker of Nicola Citro, who had not scored since October 2020 and thus puts the bad injury and a complicated return behind him (he is only at the seventh appearance of the season, all from the bench). The leaders thus returns to more than seven on Catanzaro, widening the gap in view of the direct clash at Ceravolo next Sunday. Vivarini’s team in fact falls in Monopoli (2-1), where the streak of nine useful results stops with emotions concentrated in the first half: green-and-white ahead with Borrelli, equal to Biasci, then the decisive penalty conquered by Starita and transformed by Mercadante specialist defender. Avellino goes up again, to the seventh point in three games with Gautieri on the bench: Ciancio and Kragl, with one goal in each half, sign the blow (2-0) on the Paganese field. Palermo also did well, with a step from the very first positions at home (third victory in a row): this time the Vibonese fell at the Barbera (3-0), the unleashed Brunori who found the goal nine times in the last seven games still scored. . Success full of meaning that of Catania on Monterosi (3-1), in the midst of the darkest days for the rossazzurro club which could also close its championship early if another extension of the provisional exercise is not granted on Monday. Juve Stabia gets closer to the playoffs by passing to Messina with a goal from Schiavi. Equal and one goal on each side in the other Apulian derby, Taranto-Foggia. In the safety zone, the blow is from Potenza who had never won away from home: 3-0 round on the Latina field and another blast from Cuppone, with the sixth goal in seven games since the Cittadella sent him on loan to Basilicata.
