A Saturday that was totally favorable to the leaders of groups A and B, who had already done their duty in the advance matches on Friday, goes to the archives. Here’s everything that happened.

Padova can’t keep up with the frenetic Mantova (2-1 against Triestina on Friday, the top of the class is now at plus 8). At Euganeo, Torrente’s team took the lead against Trento on a penalty with Varas, failed to close it out with Palombi (post) and were caught up in the second half by Belli’s own goal which set the result at 1-1. A playoff shot is placed by Vicenza (14 points in 7 games with Vecchi), in solitary fourth place after the success on the pitch against Atalanta U23 (2-1): Rolfini scored and the rediscovered Ferrari, but it wasn’t enough for the Nerazzurri final ring from Falleni. At 38 points, right together with Atalanta (who have a game to recover), there is Pro Vercelli who make it 3-3 in Fiorenzuola after a crazy finish (for the hosts, Fabio Ceravolo’s double remains on record ). The magical moment of Pro Patria continues, beating Pergolettese (2-0) with goals in the second half from Castelli and Stanzani and thus achieving the seventh positive result. Smiles in the playoff zone also for the increasingly surprising Lumezzane who passed on the Renate pitch (1-0, Spini), for Novara who narrowly beat Virtus Verona at Piola (1-0, Di Munno) and for Legnago ( 2-1 to AlbinoLeffe, Giani and Svidercoschi before Zanini). After almost two months, Arzignano found success again with a 3-0 win over Giana (Milillo, Parigi on a penalty and Lakti).

The crisis of Torres – still beaten – locks the record of Cesena who now has a 12 point advantage over the Sassari team. At the Vanni Sanna Juventus Next Gen passes by authority, traveling at a playoff pace with their third consecutive victory: it ends 3-1, with Sekulov, Damiani and Anghelè scoring with Scotto shortening too late (third knockout in a row for the Alfonso Greco’s team. Carrarese climbs to third place, having won 10 points in four games since Calabro was on the bench: the third consecutive success comes in Chiavari (3-1), overturning Entella who was took the lead with Lipani (two goals from corners by Della Latta and Panico, then – after the expulsion of the newly entered Montevago – a trio by Finotto in the first center with the new shirt). Two defenders headed the ball in the 1-1 Pineto-Lucchese: Tiritiello replies at Ingrosso for the guests, a point on his debut on the Abruzzo bench for Roberto Beni. A brace from Icelandic Karlsson in Vis Pesaro’s success (2-0) in the Fermo derby.
